Sewage Removal and Clean Up | Better Restorations DKI

Are you facing a toilet overflow… or worse yet a sewage backup? Whether from a clogged sewer line or local flooding, that can be devastating and goes way beyond the yuck factor. It’s an extremely serious health hazard calling for complete worker protection, including special respirators. That’s clearly not a do-it-yourself job, but you need (and no doubt want!) immediate and thorough sewage removal and sewage cleanup. Liquid quickly soaks in deeply through every crack and pore, carrying contaminants with it and causing progressive destruction to flooring and building materials. Our certified professionals have all the right training and equipment for sewage removal and cleanup, water damage prevention and restoration, and mold remediation.

You can count on us for dependable 24/7/365 emergency services, with prompt dispatch and quick arrival.

Our Sewage Removal Services

With bio-hazards able to spread through the air, a sewage backup calls for immediate and thorough treatment. Beyond physical sewage removal, sanitation, personal protection, and disinfection are paramount. Sewage cleanup presents hazards such as E. coli, hepatitis, salmonella, giardia, tetanus, toxic fungi, round worms and other parasites. Even Class-2 flooding (previously called gray water, from dishwashers, clothes washers, or any liquid that’s been in contact with the ground) requires special treatments for bacteria, viruses, and toxins. Water quickly makes its way through tiny cracks and holes and then soaks deeply into porous building materials. Without special drying methods it will remain for weeks, causing crumbling sheetrock, warping and splitting wood, and more. There can be a mold breakout in as little as 24 hours. And all that can be hidden until it’s too late. So our sewage cleanup services typically include the following actions.

Sewer Backup Tips

Experts strongly advise against handling sewage cleanup yourself. If you simply must enter the affected area here are a few suggestions.
Sewage Removal

Always be safe, wearing water-tight foot gear, rubber gloves, and protective clothing.
Bacteria and viruses quickly become airborne, so avoid disturbing contaminated areas and if possible close them off.
If you must enter the area, protection must include a cold-and-flu face mask (not a shop dust mask).
With full protection it may be OK to remove unaffected items from area and then thoroughly disinfect them.
Never use a regular vacuum to remove water.
Never enter a flooded area where electrical power is still turned on.

Insurance Issues

Unfortunately, very few homeowner’s policies cover sewage removal resulting from a clogged sewer line, as that’s considered “avoidable” with proper maintenance. And it is possible to get a sewage backup rider to take care of that situation. –Not sure we want to say this, not really applicable, maybe talk about we do our best to keep it under their deductible if at all possible. If you have flood insurance the aftermath of a sewer backup will likely be covered if it’s the direct result of flooding. Either way our expert staff will work directly with your insurance company, and our competitive rates are always a welcome relief.
