We recommend staying out of the affected area until it's been extracted and disinfected. Contaminated water carries bacteria and pathogens that pose a real health risk, especially to children, pets, and anyone with a compromised immune system. What usually causes a sewage backup? Common causes include a clogged or damaged main sewer line, tree root intrusion, a failed sump pump, or municipal sewer systems overwhelmed during heavy rain or snowmelt. Can I clean up sewage myself? We'd strongly advise against it. Sewage cleanup requires protective equipment, proper disposal methods, and hospital-grade disinfection that go well beyond typical household cleaning. Will my insurance cover sewage backup cleanup? Coverage varies by policy, and some require a specific sewer backup rider. We provide the documentation needed for a claim and can assist you with the process, but it's worth confirming your exact coverage with your insurer. What happens to items that were affected by sewage? Porous materials like carpet, padding, and some drywall usually can't be safely disinfected and need to be removed and replaced. Non-porous items can often be cleaned and sanitized. How do you make sure the area is actually safe afterward? We disinfect all affected surfaces, use HEPA air scrubbing to clear airborne contaminants, and confirm the space is fully dry before considering the job complete. Sewage backups are hazardous and shouldn't be handled alone. Call 970-333-4459 and let our trained team take it from here.
