☎ Call (763) 294-5325What the restoration crews do for a sewage backup
The restoration technicians work in full protective equipment. Maple Grove water damage pros contain the area, extract the contaminated water, and remove porous materials that cannot be disinfected, carpet, pad, and affected drywall, then clean and apply an antimicrobial to every surface it touched. Heavy water ties into water extraction, and a flooded lower level into basement flooding cleanup. The local pros dry the structure to a verified reading before releasing it.
Do not clean sewage yourself
Category three water is a real health hazard. Keep people and pets away, do not run the HVAC, and let a crew in proper PPE contain and disinfect it.
Why sewage is a safety job, not a mop job
Category three water requires disposal and disinfection standards that a mop and a bucket cannot meet, which is why the local crews treat it as a health-and-safety job first. The EPA and the Ready.gov flood guidance both stress keeping people away from contaminated water and letting trained crews handle it.

Yes. It is category three black water carrying bacteria and pathogens, a genuine health hazard. Keep people and pets away and let a crew in proper PPE handle it.
Can I clean up sewage myself?

Water and sewer backup coverage is often a separate endorsement, so check your policy. The local pros document the loss thoroughly for your claim either way.

Yes. Once the contaminated materials are removed and every surface is cleaned, disinfected, and dried, the odor goes with them.
