What to Know
Understanding Sewage Damage
Health Hazards of Sewage Backups
Sewage contains bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other pathogens that pose serious health risks. Standing sewage water is classified as Category 3 (black water), the most hazardous classification. Do not attempt to clean it yourself. Our technicians wear full PPE and use professional-grade antimicrobial treatments to safely decontaminate your property.
Complete Extraction and Sanitization
We extract all contaminated water using industrial pumps and vacuums, remove affected materials like carpet, drywall, and insulation that cannot be salvaged, and thoroughly sanitize all remaining surfaces. We then set up commercial drying equipment to prevent mold growth.
We Work With Your Insurance
Sewage backups are typically covered by homeowners insurance, especially when caused by a sudden event like a pipe failure or sewer line backup. We handle the documentation and work directly with your insurance carrier to facilitate the claims process.

Inside an Albany Sewage Backup Cleanup
Sewage backups in Albany's older homes and combined-sewer neighborhoods turn into Category 3 jobs the moment the water hits the floor. Watch one of our IICRC-certified technicians on a real sewage cleanup call, walking through extraction, removal of contaminated materials, and the antimicrobial sanitization we run before any drying equipment goes in.
How Sewage Cleanup Works
Our sewage cleanup follows strict safety protocols to protect your health and fully restore your property.
Emergency Response
We dispatch certified technicians within 60 minutes. The affected area is secured and occupants are advised to avoid contact with contaminated materials.
Sewage Extraction
Using specialized equipment and full PPE, we extract all sewage and contaminated water. All affected porous materials that cannot be sanitized, including carpet, drywall, and insulation, are removed and disposed of properly.
Sanitization and Odor Removal
Every affected surface is cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectants. We then perform full odor removal using professional deodorizers and air treatment to eliminate sewage smell completely, not just mask it. HEPA air scrubbers filter airborne contaminants during the entire process.
Structural Drying
Industrial fans and commercial dehumidifiers dry the affected area to limit the possibility of mold growth. We monitor moisture levels daily until everything reaches dry standard.
Rebuild and Restoration
We document everything for your insurance claim and handle direct billing. Then we rebuild the affected area as needed, replacing drywall, flooring, and finishes to restore your property.
