Sewage Backup Cleanup Cost

It's crucial to call reputable sewage cleanup experts like RX Restoration to assess your sewage damage. Our team works directly with your insurance company to accurately assess and document the problem, securing maximum coverage to minimize your out-of-pocket costs. On average, sewage cleanup costs around $7 to $14 per square foot. This rate can vary based on the amount of sewage, the extent of damage, and if reconstruction is needed. The sooner you contact RX Restoration, the faster we can provide immediate emergency sewage cleanup services, limiting the overall damage and project cost.

How to Cleanup Sewage Spillage


Never attempt to clean up raw sewage spillage yourself. Sewage is highly toxic and contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, parasites, and gases. If you're dealing with a sewage backup, it's best to call RX Restoration. We are experts in sewage cleanup. Our process includes:

  • Initial Assessment and Safety Measures: We evaluate the extent of the sewage spill and the types of surfaces affected. Wearing professional PPE gear, we isolate the area to prevent further contamination.
  • Removal of Sewage and Contaminated Materials: We use professional-grade pumps and vacuums to remove all standing sewage and liquid. Contaminated porous materials like carpet, upholstery, and drywall are safely removed and disposed of according to hazardous waste guidelines.
  • Cleaning and Sanitizing: We clean the area with industrial-strength cleaners and high-grade disinfectants to remove remaining dirt and organic matter, ensuring the area is sanitized and safe.
  • Drying and Dehumidifying : Using air movers, dehumidifiers, and air scrubbers, we extract contaminated moisture and clean the air.
  • Restoration and Final Inspection: We undertake necessary repairs or reconstruction, including replacing drywall, flooring, and other structural elements.

 

Common Causes of Sewage Backup

Most sewage backups can be attributed to a few common culprits:

  • Blockages in Sewer Lines: These often occur due to the accumulation of debris, grease, or foreign objects in the pipes, causing sewage to back up through toilets, bathtubs, and sinks.
  • Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots can infiltrate sewer pipes through small cracks or joints, growing over time and blocking the pipes.
  • Aging Infrastructure: Older sewer systems and septic tanks can deteriorate, crack, or collapse, leading to backups.
  • Heavy Rainfall and Flooding : During periods of excessive rainfall or flooding, sewer systems can be overwhelmed, causing sewage to back up into homes and businesses.
  • Structural Damage: Physical damage to sewer pipes, such as cracks, fractures, or shifting due to settling soil or earthquakes, can result in backups.
  • Inadequate Septic System Maintenance: Failure to maintain and pump septic tanks regularly can lead to sewage backups.
