How to Cleanup Sewage Spillage

Attempting to clean up raw sewage spillage by yourself is highly discouraged, as it is toxic and poses serious health risks. Often referred to as "black water" or category 3 water damage, it is crucial to allow professionals to handle the situation. At First Response Restoration, we follow a comprehensive sewage cleanup process that includes:  


  1. Initial Assessment and Safety Measures:  Our team evaluates the spill's extent and ensures necessary safety measures are in place, such as wearing professional PPE and isolating contaminated areas to prevent further spread.
  2. Removal of Sewage and Contaminated Materials:  We utilize professional-grade equipment to remove standing sewage and dispose of severely contaminated porous materials safely.
  3. Cleaning and Sanitizing: High-grade disinfectants are employed to eliminate pathogens and ensure a safe environment.
  4. Drying and Dehumidifying :  Our advanced equipment effectively removes moisture and purifies the air.
  5. Restoration and Final Inspection: Any necessary repairs or reconstruction are carried out diligently.

Common Causes of Sewage Backup

Sewage backups can be attributed to several common factors, including:


  • Blockages in Sewer Lines:  Debris or foreign objects can create clogs, leading to overflow through sinks, toilets, or bathtubs.
  • Tree Root Intrusion: Roots can infiltrate pipes, causing blockages as they grow.
  • Aging Infrastructure:  Deteriorating sewer systems may collapse or crack over time.
  • Heavy Rainfall and Flooding: Excess water can overwhelm sewer systems, leading to backups.
  • Structural Damage: Physical damage to pipes can result in sewage leaks.
  • Inadequate Septic System Maintenance: Failure to maintain or pump septic tanks can lead to backups.
