“Dave went out of his way to have a crew on site for my water heater flood in just a few hours. The crew got the mess cleaned up in 4 hours and left their equipment on site to dry out my basement. Their rapid response undoubtedly minimized the damaged incurred. Great job to Dave and KPM's crew!!!”
Nicholas Osso
“KPM came so quickly when our sewer starting backing up into our basement. And it was a Saturday evening! Their project manager, Dave Martone was amazing. He efficiently assessed the problem and his crew showed up completely prepared to clean up the mess. They came back to check on us the next day. I am so happy that we chose KPM!”

“I just got off the phone with Dave at KPM. He gave me great advice on how to address my issue without trying to oversell or push products. I had an idea of what to do, and he talked me through some options and provided recommendations. So I'll try the DIY route, and if that doesn't work, I am DEFINITELY calling KPM. We had some good laughs, too. You need people like that in situations that can be pretty stressful.”
Lori Hewig
“Huge thanks to KPM Restoration! Our area was hit hard by severe storms early on a Sunday morning, flooding our finished basement and causing significant property damage. I contacted several companies, but no one else could respond as quickly as KPM—especially when time was critical due to the risk of mold. Within hours of my call, they had a team mobilized and at my home two hours away. They were fast, efficient, and extremely professional—yet still friendly and courteous throughout the entire process. They were also very helpful when it came to pricing and billing, which made an already stressful situation a bit easier to manage. I highly recommend KPM Restoration to anyone dealing with flood or water damage. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care for their customers truly set them apart.”

What to Know
Understanding Sewage Damage
Why Sewage Is a Category 3 Health Hazard
Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungal spores, including E. coli, hepatitis, and salmonella. IICRC S500 classifies it as Category 3, meaning anything it contacted (carpet, pad, drywall below the water line, insulation, particleboard) is typically non-salvageable and must be removed. Do not try to clean it yourself. Our technicians wear full Tyvek suits, P100 respirators, and follow OSHA bloodborne-pathogen protocols. Everything removed is disposed of as regulated waste.
Municipal Sewer and Private Septic in East Greenbush
East Greenbush's village core and Hampton Manor area are served by municipal sewer, but many properties on the rural eastern edges of the town operate on private septic systems. Both fail in different ways: municipal mains can back up during heavy rain when capacity is exceeded, and private septic systems can fail when the tank or leach field is overloaded or aging. The cleanup protocols are identical.
Extraction, Demolition, Sanitization, Drying
We extract contaminated water with industrial pumps and water extractors, remove all non-salvageable porous materials (carpet, pad, affected drywall, insulation), apply EPA-registered antimicrobial to all contacted surfaces, and set commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the structure to safe moisture levels. The drying side of a sewage job is identical to a clean water damage job, and the same crews handle both. We monitor daily with moisture meters until clearance is reached, then we rebuild what was removed.
Mold Risk After a Sewage or Septic Event
A sewage or septic backup is one of the highest-risk events for follow-on mold growth. Without immediate professional drying and antimicrobial treatment, mold can colonize within 48 hours. Our sewage and mold remediation teams coordinate so the structure is properly decontaminated, dried, and verified before any rebuild begins.
We Work With Your Insurance
Sudden sewage and septic backups are often covered by homeowners insurance, especially with a sewer or septic backup endorsement. We bill in Xactimate, the estimating software adjusters require.
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.
