Sewage Cleanup

Sewage can carry many viruses and harmful types of bacteria like E. coli and salmonella. While all cases of water damage should be treated carefully, the serious risks that sewage spills pose to your health mean that these issues need to be handled with urgency.

Our cleanup process begins with an immediate assessment of the damage. We use industry-grade equipment to extract standing sewage and water right away.

After sewage removal, we thoroughly disinfect all affected areas using a plant-based biocide that’s safe for humans and pets. However, it’s crucial to understand that cleaning likely isn’t enough to completely treat the area. Materials that can absorb contaminants, like carpet, drywall, and insulation should be cut away and replaced with new materials.

As part of our emergency sewage cleanup services, SOS will promptly remove and dispose of all affected, non-salvageable materials upon your approval. We then apply a second round of biocide—also known as antimicrobial treatment—to all exposed areas to eliminate and prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms and toxins. After treatment, our team sets up professional drying equipment to extract any remaining moisture and prepare the area(s) for safe and efficient reconstruction.

Throughout the process, we work directly with your insurance company, handling the documentation and claims so you don’t have to. Our goal is to restore your home quickly and safely, giving you peace of mind during a stressful time.
