Sewage Cleanup & Biohazard Remediation FAQs

Is a sewage backup an emergency?
Yes — sewage exposure is a serious health hazard. Keep occupants and pets out of affected areas, do not attempt cleanup without proper PPE, and call us 24/7 for immediate response.
What gets thrown out after a sewage loss?
Per IICRC S500, all porous materials in contact with category 3 water must be removed: drywall, carpet, pad, insulation, particleboard, upholstered furniture, and similar. Hard non-porous surfaces (tile, sealed concrete, glass, metal) can typically be cleaned and sanitized.
