Sewage cleanup is an unfortunate reality for many homeowners and businesses due to restroom use. Though it may be unpleasant, sewage damage is a prevalent issue that can arise from various sources such as toilet overflows, drain backups, or broken pipes.

Crawlspace Sewage Cleanup

At V&S Water Damage Restoration, we frequently encounter sewage damage in crawlspaces. Since homeowners often neglect to inspect their crawlspaces regularly, damage can go unnoticed for extended periods. While crawlspace issues are common, sewage damage can also impact finished areas of your home.

Category 3 Water.

Sewage water, or Category 3 water, is hazardous as it may contain harmful contaminants. Our technicians are highly trained in sewage cleanup, using specialized equipment and techniques to prevent contamination of unaffected areas.

Our standard procedure includes:

1.- Extraction: Removing the bulk of contaminants. 2.-Removal: Replacing any affected materials such as flooring, baseboards, or drywall.
3.-Sanitization: Thorough cleaning of the area with industrial-grade disinfectants.
4.-Restoration: Replacing damaged materials and ensuring the space is safe and clean.
For instance, if a toilet overflows in a bathroom, we will extract the water, remove affected materials, sanitize the area, and then replace everything to restore it to a clean and safe condition.

Plumbing Drain Maintenance

Preventing sewage damage is possible with regular maintenance. Here’s how:

Regular Inspections: Have a plumber check your plumbing system every 3 to 5 years.
Address Issues Promptly: Don’t ignore signs like gurgling toilets or slow drains.
Respond to Smells: A foul odor can indicate hidden sewage issues; get it checked immediately.
Despite best efforts, sewage damage can still occur. If it does, V&S Water Damage Restoration is ready to provide prompt and effective cleanup services for your home or business.

Sewage Damage Insurance Coverage

Your homeowner’s insurance policy may cover sewage damage, but it’s essential to verify your coverage before hiring a cleanup company. Coverage varies based on your policy, particularly concerning broken drain lines or backups. We typically ensure an adjuster assesses the damage before beginning the mitigation process to clarify coverage and manage costs.
