A sewer backup is wastewater forced back up through a drain or toilet into living space. Sewage backup cleanup removes that wastewater, disposes of contaminated materials and treats surfaces and odors.

How Sewage Cleanup Works in Silverdale, WA
2. Extract and clear
Sewage is removed from the floor and low areas, and debris, trash and soiled belongings are cleared out.

Contaminated materials are bagged and removed, and surfaces are scrubbed and treated with hospital-grade disinfectant.
4. Sanitizing and deodorizing
Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Silverdale, WA
Is sewage cleanup the same as water damage restoration?
No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
How long does it take to get sick from raw sewage?
Symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea can start within hours or take a few days. Anyone with symptoms after exposure should contact a doctor. Children, older adults and people with weak immune systems are at higher risk.
Can sewage backup make me sick even after it is cleaned up?
If the cleanup missed contaminated materials, germs and odor can linger. That is why crews remove porous materials, disinfect every surface they touched and inspect the work. Thorough removal is what lowers the risk.
Who pays for sewage cleanup, the landlord or the tenant?
It depends on the cause, the lease and local law. A landlord's policy may cover the building, while a renter's policy may cover belongings. If the blockage was in a public sewer main, the city or utility may be responsible for the repair.
Why does drywall have to be removed after sewage?
Drywall is porous and holds contamination that can spread germs and odor long after the surface looks clean. Crews usually cut out wall board that sewage touched, and often take out a margin above the wet mark to reach clean material.
Should I call a plumber or a cleanup company first?
If sewage is still coming up, a plumber may need to stop the source. If sewage is already on the floor, a cleanup team can start containing it at once. Many property owners call both, and it does not matter much which is first. Sewer backup companies and plumbers often work one after the other on the same job.
