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.

Professional sewage cleanup with safety equipment
Our Process

How Sewage Cleanup Works

Our sewage cleanup follows strict safety protocols to protect your health and fully restore your property.

Step 1

Emergency Response

We dispatch certified technicians within 60 minutes. The affected area is secured and occupants are advised to avoid contact with contaminated materials.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.
