Sewage Backup Cleanup

Sewage backup cleanup is for wastewater that has entered a building from a drain, toilet, or sewer line. This is biological contamination, not a general flood or storm-dry-out service. Category of water and how long it sat both matter. An independent partner decides whether the job fits its service and what materials should be removed.

Why a professional company

Sewage can contain bacteria and viruses. Walking through it, or running a household fan across it, can spread contamination. People who do this work use protective equipment and a plan for the wastewater itself.

What partner companies typically do

Partners typically extract standing wastewater, remove affected porous materials they agree to take, clean and disinfect remaining surfaces, and discuss odor. They do not take the place of a plumber. If the line is still backing up, a plumber has to correct that.

What to do right now

• Keep people and pets out of the water.
• If you can stop the source safely, do that, then leave the area.
• Do not use a household vacuum.
• Turn off electricity to the affected area only if you can do it without standing in water.

Some property insurance policies may cover part of biohazard cleanup; many don't, and coverage depends on your policy. Check with your insurer. Insurance and self-pay jobs are accepted. Top Clean Bio is not an insurer, adjuster, or public adjuster and does not handle or negotiate claims.
