Frequently Asked Questions
Is sewage backup covered by homeowners insurance?
Only if you have sewer backup coverage, which is typically an add-on endorsement. Standard homeowners insurance doesn't cover sewer backups. We'll help you navigate your policy.
Can I clean up sewage myself?
Absolutely not. Sewage contains dangerous pathogens that cause serious illness. Professional decontamination with EPA-approved disinfectants and proper PPE is required by law in many jurisdictions.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
Extraction and decontamination take 4-8 hours. Drying takes 3-5 days. Reconstruction (if materials were removed) takes 1-2 weeks.
What causes sewage backups?
Common causes: clogged sewer lines (tree roots, grease, foreign objects), broken or collapsed pipes, septic system failures, and municipal sewer overflows during heavy rain.
Will my home smell after sewage cleanup?
No. We use hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging to eliminate sewage odors at a molecular level. Your home will smell clean and fresh after restoration.
