SERVICE OVERVIEW

What Is Sewage Backup Cleanup?

Sewage backup cleanup is the process of safely removing contaminated water, disinfecting affected surfaces, and restoring the space to a livable condition after a sewage system failure. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and other biological hazards that make it one of the most dangerous types of water damage a home can experience. It is classified as Category 3 (black water) under IICRC standards, which means professional handling is required from start to finish.

A backup can happen for a number of reasons. Clogged sewer lines, tree root intrusion, municipal system overflows, and heavy rainfall that overwhelms aging infrastructure are among the most common. When it happens, sewage can enter a home through floor drains, toilets, or basement plumbing and spread quickly across flooring, walls, and personal belongings.

Five Star Restoration responds to sewage backup emergencies 24 hours a day. Our crews arrive with commercial extraction equipment, hospital grade disinfectants, and the containment tools needed to isolate the affected area and prevent cross contamination. We handle the full scope of work from initial extraction through structural drying, antimicrobial treatment, and final clearance testing. Every sewage cleanup we perform follows IICRC water damage restoration guidelines.

Your Home Gets Restored

One team handles extraction, drying, cleaning, and repairs. One point of contact from start to finish.

How We Handle Sewage Backup

A safe, thorough process from the moment we arrive to the day the space is fully restored.

CONTAINMENT

Immediate Area Isolation

We seal off the affected area the moment we arrive. Sewage contamination spreads easily — containment stops it from reaching clean spaces in your home.

EXTRACTION

Sewage and Contaminated Material Removal

Sewage, contaminated water, and affected materials are safely extracted and disposed of according to biohazard protocols. Nothing is left behind.

DISINFECTION

Commercial Grade Cleaning and Deodorization

Every affected surface is treated with professional antimicrobial agents. Odor is eliminated at the source, not masked.

DRYING

Structural Drying and Moisture Monitoring

After disinfection, we dry the structure completely. Moisture left behind creates mold. We monitor daily until every reading hits safe levels.

RESTORATION

Repairs and Full Rebuild

Affected drywall, flooring, and materials are replaced. The space is returned to pre-loss condition by the same crew that handled cleanup.

Sewage Backup

★★★★★

Our main sewer line backed up into the downstairs bathroom on a Sunday evening. It was bad. Five Star picked up immediately when we called and had a crew there within 45 minutes. They sealed off the bathroom right away, extracted everything, and treated every surface with disinfectant. The smell was completely gone by the time they finished. They handled the Liberty Mutual claim documentation and we had a check within two weeks.

Sewage Backup

★★★★★

Sewage backed up into our laundry room through the floor drain during a heavy rain event. I had no idea who to call and found Five Star online. They answered immediately, explained exactly what the process would look like, and were at our house within the hour. Full containment, extraction, disinfection — they did everything. The crew was professional and thorough and they made sure the space was completely safe before they packed up. Our insurance covered the full job.

Sewage Backup

★★★★★

We had a sewage backup come up through the basement floor drain and it spread across a good portion of the basement floor before we caught it. Five Star was there fast. They sealed off the basement, removed everything contaminated, and disinfected the concrete and lower wall sections. They also caught some moisture behind the drywall that would have caused mold later. The whole job was handled the right way and the crew communicated clearly throughout. Farmers Insurance claim was approved without any pushback.
