“KPM was outstanding. We dealt with some water damage that lead to mold growth. KPM was very patient with us as we asked many questions to best address the issues and damage that was caused. Not only did they educate us, but they understood our frustration with the issue and assured us everything would be addressed, professionally. I highly recommend this group.”

“KMP Restoration absolutely exceeded my expectations! After my business experienced water damage, I was incredibly stressed about how it would impact everything—but their team stepped in and completely turned things around. They were fast, professional, and truly cared about getting my business back up and running. From the initial assessment to the final touches, they handled everything with precision and attention to detail. The quality of their work was outstanding, and they made sure my space was restored to top-notch condition—honestly, even better than before.

What to Know
Understanding Sewage Damage
What Causes Most Sewage Backups in Colonie
In Colonie's established neighborhoods, the trees are usually the problem. Mature root systems in Loudonville, Newtonville, and Latham work into aging clay sewer laterals and choke the line until sewage backs up into the basement, which is exactly what we see on most local calls. Outer parts of town still run on septic, where a saturated field or a failed pump can produce the same result. A main-line clog, a sewer-district backup, or a failed ejector pump are the usual culprits.
The Health Hazard of Category 3 Water
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.
Cleanup, Sanitizing, and Insurance
We extract the contamination with industrial pumps and vacuums, remove unsalvageable porous materials like carpet, pad, and drywall, and sanitize every remaining surface before setting up commercial drying equipment to prevent mold. Coverage depends on your policy, and many Colonie homeowners carry a sewer backup endorsement for exactly this. We document the loss, bill in Xactimate, and work directly with your adjuster.
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.

What causes most sewage backups in Colonie?
In Colonie's established neighborhoods, the trees are usually the culprit. Mature roots in Loudonville, Newtonville, and Latham work into aging clay sewer laterals and choke the line until sewage backs up into the basement. Outer parts of town still run on septic, where a saturated field or a failed pump can produce the same result.
Is a sewage backup covered by my homeowners insurance?
It depends on your policy. Many Colonie homeowners carry a separate sewer or water backup endorsement for exactly this situation, since a standard policy may not include it. We document the loss, bill in Xactimate, and work directly with your adjuster so the claim moves quickly.

No. Standing sewage is Category 3 black water, the most hazardous classification, and it carries bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It needs full PPE and professional antimicrobial treatment to clean safely. Keep people and pets away from the area and call us.
