When to Call

Call for sewage backup cleanup if you’re dealing with:

  • Sewer backup in a basement
  • Toilet overflow that contains waste
  • Floor drain backup
  • Sump pump failure mixed with wastewater
  • Sewage odor or visible contamination after a water event
  • Multi-unit backups affecting adjacent apartments or common areas

If you’re unsure whether the water is contaminated, treat it as contaminated until assessed.

What You Should Do Before We Arrive

If it’s safe:

  • Keep people and pets out of the affected area
  • Avoid running the HVAC that could move odors/particles
  • Do not use household fans to “dry it out” (this can spread contaminants)
  • If sewage is near outlets, avoid the area until power is made safe
  • For apartments: notify management and restrict access to impacted units

Then call SteamDry Restore. We’ll guide the next steps by phone while dispatching a crew.
