Call (316) 669-5741Sewer backup cleanup
Sewage cleanup is different from ordinary clean-water extraction because contamination affects how materials can be handled. The work may include removal of bulk water and waste, disposal of materials that cannot be safely retained, cleaning of affected surfaces and drying of the remaining structure.
Areas commonly affected by sewage backups
- Basements and lower levels
- Bathrooms and floor drains
- Utility rooms
- Finished flooring and baseboards
- Drywall and porous contents near the overflow
Do not treat contaminated water like a normal spill
Keep children and pets away, avoid walking through contaminated areas when possible, and do not use household fans to blow air across sewage-contaminated materials.
Drying and restoration after cleanup
After contaminated material is removed or cleaned, remaining structural components still need to be dried. The final repair scope depends on what can be retained safely and what must be replaced.
Frequently asked questions
Is a sewer backup an emergency?
It should be addressed promptly because the affected water can contain contaminants and can spread into porous materials.
Can carpet be saved after sewage exposure?
That depends on the contamination and construction, but heavily contaminated porous materials often require removal rather than ordinary cleaning.
Do you also handle clean-water flooding?
Yes. See our Wichita flood cleanup service.
