Sewage cleanup service involves the safe and efficient removal and disinfection of sewage spills and backups in both residential and commercial properties. These services are promptly provided by experienced professionals who adhere to strict safety protocols and industry best practices to mitigate health risks, prevent property damage, and restore affected areas to a sanitary condition.
Cleanup and Disinfection
- Extraction and Removal: Sewage spills are promptly extracted using specialized equipment like pumps, vacuums, and wet/dry extractors. Contaminated materials like carpets, furniture, and drywall may need to be removed and disposed of.

Sewage cleanup services effectively kill sewage bacteria with powerful disinfectants approved by regulatory agencies. Common disinfectants used include:
- Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite): A potent oxidizer that destroys bacteria, viruses, and molds on contact.
- Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (Quats): Disinfectants that effectively kill microorganisms and inhibit their growth.
- Hydrogen Peroxide: A powerful oxidizing agent that kills bacteria and spores.
These disinfectants are applied according to manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the elimination of harmful pathogens and the restoration of a safe and sanitary environment.
