Sewage Backup Cleanup in Metro Detroit
Sewage backup is a health hazard. Keep people and pets out.
Sewage carries bacteria and viruses, so this is not a mop-and-bucket job. Porous materials that got wet have to go. We remove the contamination in containment, clean and disinfect every hard surface, dry the structure and confirm the space is safe before anyone uses it again.

Our process
The same sequence on every job, scaled to the size of the loss.
- Step 1
Contain the area
We isolate the space so contamination does not spread through the house.
- Step 2
Remove contaminated material
Waste, carpet, pad, and affected drywall come out and are disposed of properly.
- Step 3
Clean and disinfect
Hard surfaces are washed and treated with EPA-registered disinfectants.
- Step 4
Dry and clear
Structural drying, deodorizing, and a final walkthrough before reconstruction.
What usually causes it
- Municipal main surcharge during heavy rain
- Tree roots in an older lateral
- Collapsed or bellied clay tile
- Failed ejector or backwater valve

Questions we get about sewage backup
Can I clean it myself?
We would not. Category 3 water needs protective equipment, containment and proper disposal.
What has to be thrown away?
Porous items that absorbed the water: pad, carpet, wet drywall, particleboard, most soft goods.
Is it covered by insurance?
Often only with a sewer and drain backup endorsement. Check your policy and we will document either way.
How long until the room is usable?
Cleaning is usually one to two days, drying a few more, then any rebuild.
Damage does not wait. Neither do we.
