Question 1

What should I do immediately if I have a sewage backup?

Accepted Answer

First, try to stop the source of the leak if it's safe to do so. Avoid contact with the sewage, as it contains harmful bacteria. Turn off your HVAC system to prevent spreading contaminants. Do not use your plumbing or attempt to clean it yourself. Your safest and quickest next step is to call Odor Cleanup Pros immediately for professional assistance.

Question 2

Is sewage cleanup something I can do myself?

Accepted Answer

No, sewage cleanup should always be handled by trained professionals. Raw sewage contains dangerous pathogens, viruses, and bacteria that pose severe health risks. Without proper protective gear, specialized equipment, and disinfection agents, you risk serious illness and incomplete remediation. Trust our vetted experts for a safe and thorough job.

Will the odor truly be removed, or just covered up?

Accepted Answer

Our connected professionals are experts in complete odor elimination. They don't just mask smells; they identify and neutralize the source of the odor, often using specialized equipment like air scrubbers and ozone generators. This ensures that even the most persistent sewage odors are thoroughly removed, leaving your property fresh.

Question 5

What does "Damage Restoration" involve after sewage cleanup?

Accepted Answer

Damage restoration goes beyond just cleaning. It involves repairing or replacing structural elements and contents that were affected by the sewage. This can include drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and more. Our providers ensure your home is not only clean and sanitized but also fully repaired and restored to its pre-incident condition, making the area safe and comfortable again.
