Comprehensive Sanitation, Mitigation, and Restoration For Sewer Backup Emergencies – Doctor Fix It Handles Every Step of the Way

We clean and sanitize affected areas so you can get back to daily life.

A sewage backup is more than just a mess and an inconvenience; it often requires water damage restoration. It’s an urgent health hazard that requires swift, proper cleanup to prevent serious illnesses and property damage.

Sewage contains a toxic stew of contaminants including:

  • Bacteria like E. coli and salmonella
  • Viruses such as hepatitis
  • Parasites like giardia and cryptosporidium
  • Fungi and mold spores, along with other microbes, can spread rapidly after a sewage backup.

Exposure to these pathogens can cause severe gastrointestinal illness, infections, and even life-threatening diseases. Sewage also harbors noxious chemicals that irritate eyes, skin and lungs.

In addition to jeopardizing health, sewage backups wreak havoc on structures. Contaminated water quickly seeps into floors, walls, furniture and belongings, leading to staining, warping, rot, and lingering foul odors. Moisture promotes toxic black mold growth. Electrical systems and metal components corrode. Drywall, carpets and other porous materials must be discarded.

Without fast action by sewage cleanup experts, your property suffers increasing damage and restoration costs skyrocket. Even worse, long-term exposure to raw sewage puts your family at greater risk for debilitating sickness. That’s why it’s critical to call in professionals like Doctor Fix It at the first sign of a sewage backup.

“I hired Doctor Fix-it to repair a laundry list of broken, or otherwise outdated things (to prepare my home for sale), and to paint. From painting-to drywall- to fixing doors, railings, woodwork etc., they did it all. If a specific repair was not in their wheelhouse, Keith didn’t hesitate to refer us to another qualified professional. Keith and his team were fast, clean and thorough. We could tell they actually enjoyed performing their craft! Keith called and texted me frequently to update us about: our project, to confirm arrival times, and to ask me for my preferences. The prices were fair for the high quality work! We are currently hiring Doctor Fix-it (again) to update our new home! ”

Sewage Cleanup FAQs

How long does sewage cleanup take?

The duration of sewage cleanup depends on the extent of contamination and damage. A minor backup may be resolved in a day or two, while extensive disasters can take several days to extract, dry, clean, and repair. We work efficiently to return your property to normal as quickly as possible.

Is sewage contamination dangerous?

Absolutely. Sewage contains a host of toxic substances and disease-causing pathogens that pose serious health risks. Exposure to raw sewage can cause infections, respiratory issues, skin rashes, and severe illnesses like hepatitis. It’s crucial to avoid contact with contaminated water and materials. Leave cleanup to trained professionals with proper safety gear; our cleanup professionals are equipped to handle even the toughest situations.

What should I do if sewage backs up?

If you experience a sewage emergency, first ensure your family is safe. Do not enter contaminated areas or touch sewage water. Avoid using plumbing fixtures or appliances. If possible, shut off power to affected areas at the breaker box to prevent electrical hazards. Then call Doctor Fix It right away – our sewage specialists will handle the rest!

Does insurance cover sewage backups and water removal services?

Coverage for sewage backups varies by policy and provider. Sewage damage is not included in standard homeowners or renters insurance. Many policies do offer sewage backup coverage as an optional add-on, which can be crucial for managing toilet overflow incidents. Our team can help review your specific policy and assist with the claims process.

Can I clean sewage myself?

Cleaning up sewage yourself is highly inadvisable. Without proper training, equipment, and protective measures, you risk spreading contamination and jeopardizing your health. Sewage cleanup involves more than surface disinfection; it requires thorough water damage restoration to ensure the area is safe and clean. Just because an area looks clean doesn’t mean it’s sanitized. Professional services are needed to remove all traces of contamination and prevent mold/odors.

How can I prevent future sewage issues?

While some sewage backups result from non-preventable issues like major flooding, others can be avoided with proactive maintenance to prevent toilet overflow. Have your sewer/septic system professionally inspected and cleaned on a regular basis. Repair any damaged or aged pipes. Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items to prevent blockages in the sewage system. Install backwater prevention valves. And never pour grease down your drains; this can lead to blockages and cause sewage overflow!

When should I call for professional help?

At the first sign of a possible sewage backup! If you notice multiple drains clogging, foul odors from drains, or sewage flowing from cleanouts or exterior fixtures, contact sewage cleanup experts right away. Prompt action is key to limiting health risks and property damage. If contamination has already occurred, immediately evacuate the area and call for help.

What are the causes of sewage backups and blockages?

  1. Tree roots: Trees and shrubs near sewer lines can seek out sources of moisture, such as cracks or loose joints in pipes, and grow into them, causing blockages.
  2. Flushing inappropriate items: Flushing things like paper towels, feminine hygiene products, diapers, and grease down the toilet or drains can cause clogs in the sewer lines.
  3. Incorrect installation: Improperly installed sewer lines or pipes with incorrect sizes or grades can lead to backups and blockages.
  4. Age and deterioration: As sewer lines age, they can become weakened, cracked, or collapsed, leading to blockages and backups.
  5. Corrosion: Over time, metals used in sewer pipes can corrode, causing blockages and leaks.
  6. Poor maintenance: Lack of regular maintenance, such as cleaning and clearing of sewer lines, can lead to blockages, backups, and may eventually cause sewage overflow.
  7. Stormwater infiltration: During heavy rain, stormwater can infiltrate sewer lines through cracks or leaks, overwhelming the system and causing backups.
  8. Sewer line breaks: Breaks in sewer lines caused by shifting soil, freezing and thawing, or construction activities can lead to blockages and backups.
  9. Foreign objects: Objects like toys, clothing, and other debris can accidentally find their way into sewer lines, causing blockages.
