When to Call

When to Call Us About Sewage Backup Remediation

  • After a toilet, drain, or external sewer has backed up into living space

  • Following a basement flood where sewage is mixed with the water
  • When standing contaminated water has been present long enough to need full decontamination
Our Approach

Our Approach

Sewage backups are biological hazards — disease pathogens, faecal bacteria, structural damage. We arrive in full PPE and start with extraction using industrial wet vacs and pumps. Saturated soft furnishings, carpet underlay, and contaminated plasterboard typically need removal — we'll flag this at the assessment. Hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected with hospital-grade chemicals; the structure is dried with air movers and dehumidifiers to prevent secondary mould. The waste is handled in compliant containers with transfer notes.

The Process

What to Expect

  1. STEP 01 Phone enquiry — describe the source, volume, and how long it's been standing
  2. STEP 02 On-site assessment, typically same-day for Tameside zones
  3. STEP 03 Written quote covering extraction, removal, decontamination, and structural drying
  4. STEP 04 On-site work — typical 1-3 days including drying time
  5. STEP 05 Sign-off with moisture-meter readings to confirm structure is dry
Common Questions

Common Questions About Sewage Backup Remediation

Will my insurance cover this?
Most home and commercial insurance policies cover sewage backup events. We provide quotes and documentation in formats that insurers commonly accept; you submit the claim through your usual route.
Is the structure safe afterwards?
Yes — once cleaned, disinfected, and dried, the structure returns to safe condition. We use moisture meters to confirm drying is complete; surface disinfection is verified visually and by smell.
What if it happens again?
Recurring backups need plumbing or drainage investigation — that's a different trade. We can recommend reputable drainage contractors who handle the cause; our scope is the cleanup.
