Sewage Backup Cleanup
Sewage backups are a serious health hazard. Our certified biohazard team safely removes contaminants and sanitizes your property.
Immediate Response for Hazardous Spills
A sewage backup is one of the most dangerous types of property damage. It introduces harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites into your living space. Do not attempt to clean this yourself.
APT Water Restoration follows strict IICRC S500 guidelines for sewage cleanup. We use personal protective equipment (PPE) and containment barriers to prevent the spread of contamination to other areas of your home.
Our Safety-First Protocol
- Containment: We seal off the affected area immediately.
- Removal: We remove all sewage and non-salvageable porous materials (carpet, pad, drywall).
- Cleaning: We pressure wash and scrub affected surfaces with industrial biocides.
- Drying: We dry the structure to prevent mold growth.
- Testing: We can perform clearance testing to verify the area is sanitary.

The Hidden Dangers of Waiting
Deadly Pathogens
Sewage water contains E. coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis A, and other dangerous pathogens that can cause severe illness or death.
Toxic Sewer Gas
Methane and hydrogen sulfide from sewage backups are not only explosive but can cause asphyxiation in enclosed spaces.
Impossible to Clean
Porous materials like carpet, pad, and drywall cannot be sanitized after sewage contact and MUST be removed to prevent disease.
