Sewage Backup Contents Restoration
The dirtiest kind of loss. We handle it with the protocols it requires.
Sewage backups are Category 3 'black water' losses. The contamination isn't just visible — it includes bacteria, viruses, and biohazards. Restoration requires specialized protocols and decontamination protocols most companies don't have.
Time matters: Call immediately. Sewage contamination spreads quickly and becomes a health hazard within hours.
What happens to your contents
- 1Black water contains pathogens, bacteria, and biohazards.
- 2Anything porous that contacted black water is typically not salvageable — fabric upholstery, mattresses, carpet padding.
- 3Hard contents (furniture, dishes, electronics) can usually be decontaminated and restored.
- 4The longer contamination sits, the more it spreads.
How we restore it
PPE-protected pack-out
Our crews are trained for biohazard response. They wear appropriate PPE and follow IICRC S500 protocols.
Triage with documentation
Salvageable items separated from total-loss items. Every total-loss item is documented for your claim.
Multi-stage decontamination
Hard contents go through multi-stage cleaning including antimicrobial and disinfectant treatment.
Final clearance testing
Items aren't returned until they pass clearance — they're safe to be back in your home.
What we restore
- Hard furniture (wood, metal, glass)
- Dishes, glassware, kitchenware
- Electronics after decontamination
- Art and framed pieces
- Some specialty items case-by-case
Frequently asked questions
- Can my couch be saved after sewage?
- Almost never if it directly contacted sewage. Upholstered furniture that was contaminated is typically a total loss. We document everything for the claim.
- What about kid's toys and decor?
- Hard plastic and washable items, yes. Fabric and porous items, generally no.
- Is restoration after sewage safe?
- Yes when done right. We follow IICRC S500 standards. Items returned to your home meet clearance for safe occupancy.
