Sewage Backup Cleanup Cost
The cost of sewage cleanup can vary depending on the extent of the damage, the area affected, and whether reconstruction is necessary. To minimize your costs and ensure accurate documentation, it's essential to have a reputable company like Mason-Dixon Restoration assess the damage. Our team works directly with your insurance company to provide a detailed report, ensuring you get the maximum coverage possible and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
How to Cleanup Sewage Spillage
It's crucial to understand that raw sewage should never be cleaned up without professional help. Due to the high toxicity of sewage, which is classified as category 3 water damage, attempting cleanup on your own can result in serious health complications. Here's a breakdown of our sewage cleanup process:
- Initial Assessment and Safety Measures: Our team evaluates the situation and puts safety protocols in place, ensuring the affected area is isolated and our team wears protective PPE gear.
- Removal of Sewage and Contaminated Materials: We use professional-grade pumps and vacuums to remove standing sewage. Any contaminated porous materials, such as carpets and drywall, are safely disposed of.
- Cleaning and Sanitizing: We clean and sanitize the affected areas with industrial-strength cleaners and high-grade disinfectants to eliminate harmful pathogens and bacteria.
- Drying and Dehumidifying : Air movers and dehumidifiers are used to remove moisture from the area and prevent further contamination.
- Restoration and Final Inspection: Any necessary repairs or reconstruction, including replacing drywall or flooring, are completed, and a final inspection ensures the property is safe and sanitary.
Common Causes of Sewage Backup
Understanding the causes of sewage backups can help prevent future issues. Common causes include:
- Blockages in Sewer Lines: Debris, grease, or foreign objects in the pipes can cause clogs that lead to sewage backups.
- Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots can infiltrate and block sewer lines, leading to backups.
- Aging Infrastructure: Old pipes and deteriorating sewer systems are more prone to cracks and failure.
- Heavy Rainfall and Flooding: Excess water can overwhelm the sewer system, causing backups.
- Structural Damage: Physical damage to pipes due to shifting or settling soil can result in blockages.
- Inadequate Septic System Maintenance: Failure to properly maintain a septic system can lead to sewage backups.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewage cleanup?
Homeowners insurance may cover sewage damage if the cause is sudden and accidental, such as heavy rain, flooding, or tree root intrusion. However, if the damage is due to neglect or lack of maintenance, it may not be covered. At Mason-Dixon Restoration, we work with your insurance provider to assess and document the damage.
