What Causes Sewage Backups?

Sewage backups can occur for several reasons, including clogged sewer lines, tree root intrusion, broken sewer pipes, aging plumbing systems, septic system failures, heavy rainfall, municipal sewer overflows, and blocked floor drains. Because sewage water is considered Category 3 water, it contains harmful contaminants that require specialized cleanup and sanitization procedures.

Unlike clean water losses, sewage backups can quickly contaminate flooring, drywall, insulation, furniture, and personal belongings. Prompt professional cleanup helps reduce health risks while limiting additional property damage.

Signs You Need Professional Sewage Cleanup

Sewage contamination should never be ignored. Common warning signs include:

• Standing black or gray water
• Sewage odors inside the property
• Overflowing toilets or floor drains
• Water backing up into tubs or sinks
• Slow drains throughout the property
• Visible sewage contamination
• Water damage near drains or plumbing fixtures
• Contaminated carpeting or flooring
• Mold growth following a sewage backup
• Repeated drain backups

If you experience any of these conditions, avoid contact with the contaminated water and contact a professional restoration company immediately.

Our Sewage Cleanup Process

PuroClean of Springfield follows industry standards for Category 3 water losses to safely remove contaminated materials, clean affected surfaces, and restore your property.

Inspection and Safety Assessment

Our technicians inspect the affected areas, identify contaminated materials, and establish appropriate safety procedures before restoration begins.

Contaminated Water Removal

Commercial extraction equipment removes sewage water and contaminated debris. Learn more about our Emergency Water Extraction services.

Removal of Unsalvageable Materials

Porous materials that cannot be safely restored may need to be removed in accordance with industry guidelines.

Cleaning and Disinfection

All restorable surfaces are cleaned using professional products and disinfectants designed for sewage contamination.

Structural Drying

Commercial air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture monitoring equipment are used to dry structural materials after cleanup. Our Structural Drying process helps ensure hidden moisture is properly addressed.

Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Structural Drying

Once contaminated water has been removed, the structure must be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and dried. Moisture hidden behind walls, beneath flooring, and inside structural materials can contribute to additional damage if not properly addressed. Our restoration team monitors moisture levels throughout the drying process before reconstruction begins.
