A sewage backup is one of the most unpleasant and hazardous water damage situations a property owner can face. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that present serious health risks — and the longer it sits, the worse the damage and contamination spread.

Sewage backups are classified as Category 3 (black water) contamination — the most serious category of water damage. Materials that have been in contact with sewage typically cannot be cleaned and must be removed. Our technicians are trained to work safely in these environments and dispose of contaminated materials in compliance with regulations.
Common causes of sewage backups in Terre Haute homes include aging municipal sewer lines, tree root intrusion, heavy rain overwhelming the system, and issues with residential plumbing. Whatever the cause, the response needs to be fast and thorough.
After extraction and decontamination, we dry the affected area using the same industrial equipment we use for all water damage jobs. The goal is to leave the space completely clean, dry, and safe — with no residual odor.
