Sewage Cleanup in Palm Beach & Broward

A sewage backup is contaminated water. Everything it touches has to be removed or cleaned and sanitized, not just dried. We handle the cleanup so your home or business is safe to use again.

Why sewage needs more than drying

Sewage carries bacteria, viruses and other contaminants. Porous materials it soaks into, like carpet, carpet pad, drywall and insulation, usually can't be saved. Hard surfaces have to be cleaned and sanitized before anything is dried and closed back up.

Treat sewage water as a health hazard. Keep children and pets away from it, and don't try to clean it up with a mop and household fans.

Common causes in South Florida

• Main sewer line clogs and tree roots in older neighborhoods
• Cracked or failing cast-iron drain lines in older homes and buildings
• Heavy rain that overwhelms sewer and septic systems
• Septic system backups
• Grease buildup in restaurant and commercial kitchen drain lines
• Toilet overflows in condos and multi-unit buildings that run into the units below

Until we get there

• Stop using water in the building: no flushing, showers, laundry or dishwasher
• Keep everyone out of the affected area, especially children and pets
• Don't run household fans in the area. They can spread contamination
• Only shut off power to the area if you can reach the breaker from a dry spot
• Take photos and video before anything is moved, for your own records

Cleanup, not plumbing

We clean up the water and the damage it left. Clearing or repairing the line itself is a plumber's job. If the cause hasn't been fixed yet, we'll tell you before we start so the backup doesn't happen again.
