Every sewage cleanup project requires a response based on the source of the backup, the areas affected, the materials involved, and the level of contamination present. Archer Restoration Services develops a clear remediation plan to safely remove sewage, disinfect the affected areas, dry the structure, and complete necessary repairs, with teams available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Sewage Removal
Raw sewage is a Category 3 contaminated water loss and requires safe, professional handling. Our technicians wear full protective equipment and use specialized pumps and extraction tools to remove sewage and solid waste, then dispose of contaminated materials according to health and safety regulations.
Water Extraction
Sewage backups rarely stay contained to one spot. We extract all standing water from flooring, carpet, and low-lying areas, then use moisture meters to find water that has migrated into walls, subfloors, and hidden cavities so nothing is missed.
Structural Drying and Dehumidification
After extraction, we place commercial air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure completely. Thorough drying prevents lingering moisture from causing mold growth, warped flooring, and structural damage in the days and weeks after the backup.
Biohazard Cleanup
Sewage contains harmful pathogens including E. coli, salmonella, and hepatitis. Porous materials that absorb contaminated water, such as carpet, padding, and drywall, are safely removed and disposed of, while salvageable materials are professionally treated.
Disinfection and Sanitization
Every affected surface is cleaned and treated with antimicrobial disinfectants to eliminate bacteria and viruses left behind by sewage exposure. We sanitize beyond the visibly affected area to ensure your property is safe.
Odor Removal and Deodorization
Sewage odors penetrate porous materials and linger long after the mess is gone. We use professional deodorization methods, including air scrubbing and antimicrobial fogging, to neutralize odors at the source rather than masking them.
Repair and Restoration of Damaged Structures
Once the property is clean, dry, and sanitized, we handle the rebuild. From replacing removed drywall, flooring, and insulation to final finish work, one team manages the entire project from cleanup through completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know emergencies are stressful. Here are answers to the most common questions.
What is sewage cleanup?
Sewage cleanup is the professional removal of sewage, contaminated water, and affected materials from a property. Archer Restoration’s process includes sewage and water extraction, safe disposal of contaminated materials, disinfection and sanitization, structural drying, odor removal, and any necessary repairs to restore the property to a safe condition.
Is a sewage backup dangerous?
Yes. Raw sewage is classified as Category 3 water, the most hazardous type of water loss, and can contain bacteria, viruses, and parasites including E. coli, salmonella, and hepatitis A. These contaminants pose serious health risks through direct contact and can also spread through the air in enclosed spaces. Children, seniors, pets, and anyone with a weakened immune system are especially vulnerable, which is why the affected area should be avoided until professional cleanup is complete.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage cleanup?
It depends on your policy and the cause of the backup. Archer Restoration Services works directly with insurance carriers, documents the full scope of the damage, and can help you understand what your policy covers as part of your claim.
What should I do while waiting for the sewage cleanup crew?
Keep people and pets away from the affected area and avoid walking through contaminated water, which can spread bacteria to clean parts of your home. Turn off HVAC systems to prevent airborne contaminants from circulating, and do not use sinks, toilets, or drains connected to the affected line. Avoid using household fans, which can spread contamination, and leave the cleanup itself to trained professionals with proper protective equipment.
How quickly should sewage damage be cleaned?
Sewage damage should be addressed as quickly as possible. Contaminated water can spread into flooring, walls, subfloors, and other hidden areas, while lingering moisture can lead to additional problems such as mold growth and structural damage. Archer Restoration provides 24/7 emergency dispatch for sewage cleanup.
Can you clean sewage backups?
Yes. Archer Restoration provides emergency cleanup for sewage backups in homes and businesses. Our team removes sewage and standing water, identifies contamination that has spread into hidden areas, removes affected porous materials when necessary, disinfects and dries the property, and completes required repairs.
Does insurance cover sewage cleanup?
Coverage depends on your insurance policy and the cause of the sewage backup. Archer Restoration works directly with insurance carriers, documents the full scope of the damage, and can help you understand what your policy covers as part of the claim process.
