Is sewage water actually dangerous?

Yes. It is Category 3 water, which carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. It should not be handled without proper protective equipment, which is why this is not a DIY cleanup.

Can you save my carpet and drywall?

Often no. Porous materials that absorb black water usually have to be removed for safety. Hard surfaces can be cleaned and sanitized. We tell you straight what can be saved.

Will insurance cover sewage cleanup?

Sudden sewage backups are often covered, sometimes with a specific backup endorsement on the policy. We document the loss and work with your carrier directly.

How fast can you respond?

We dispatch 24/7 across the Denver metro. With sewage, fast response limits contamination and damage, so call right away.

Site Advisory // 01

Contaminated water is a health hazard

Sewage water, called Category 3 or black water, contains bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants. It soaks into drywall, flooring, and subfloor fast, and what it touches usually cannot just be wiped down. The job is to remove it safely, dispose of contaminated material properly, sanitize everything, and dry the structure completely.
