Sewage Cleanup
Low-level sewage backups pumped, decontaminated, and dried, the safe way.
Sewage Cleanup
Basements take the first hit in a sewage backup because they sit lowest, and what comes up is Category 3 water, a genuine biohazard. We pump it out in protective gear, remove the contaminated materials, decontaminate every surface, and dry the space.
We handle backups in finished basements and garden units across Brooklyn and out to Nassau County.

What To Expect
Basements take the first hit in a backup because they sit lowest. We pump it out in protective gear, remove the contaminated materials, decontaminate every surface, and dry the space. A backwater valve and keeping grease and wipes out of drains reduce the risk of a repeat.
Easy To Miss
The worst basement backups are often the slow ones. A cracked drain line in a basement used only for storage, or for the boiler and the laundry once a week, can leak for days before anyone goes downstairs. By then the sewage has spread across the floor, and the humidity from it has soaked into the walls far above where the water reached.
That changes the job. A flood cut a couple of feet up is not enough when the whole wall is damp, and more has to come out. It is also why the sewage smell lingers when wet drywall is left in place. If you have a basement you rarely use, walk through it once a week. Look at the floor near the drains and the boiler, and trust your nose.
What Comes Out
The rule is simple, because sewage is black water. If it is porous and sewage touched it, it goes. If it is hard and sealed, it can usually be cleaned and disinfected.
We photograph and list everything that gets thrown out, so your insurance company sees what was lost.
How It Works

Stay out of it and call us. Sewage is a biohazard; we handle it with the right gear and decontaminate the space so it is safe again.
A backwater valve can help, and keeping grease and wipes out of drains. We will flag the likely cause while we are there.
The structure, yes. The finishes that soaked up sewage, like carpet, drywall and insulation, usually come out. Once the space is cleaned, treated and dried, it gets rebuilt.
Cleanup and drying usually take about a week. Rebuilding the walls and floors takes longer, depending on how much came out.
Sometimes. Many policies only cover sewer backups if you have a water backup endorsement. A pipe that suddenly breaks inside the house may be handled differently. We document everything either way.
