Sewer Backup Cleaning & Cleanup Services

Fast, Safe Sewer Backup Cleanup.


A sewer backup is one of the most unpleasant types of water damage a homeowner can experience. Whether caused by a clogged main sewer line, heavy rainfall, tree root intrusion, or a municipal sewer issue, contaminated wastewater can quickly spread through your home, damaging flooring, walls, belongings, and creating serious health concerns.


At Moldman, we provide professional sewer backup cleanup services designed to safely remove contaminated water, thoroughly clean and disinfect affected areas, and restore your property as quickly as possible. Our experienced technicians follow strict safety protocols and use commercial-grade equipment to help protect your home and your family.


Why Sewer Backups Require Professional Cleanup


Unlike a clean water leak, sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and other harmful contaminants that should never be handled without proper protective equipment and cleaning procedures.

Attempting to clean a sewer backup yourself can:

  • Spread contamination throughout the home

  • Leave behind harmful bacteria and pathogens

  • Cause lingering odors

  • Increase the risk of mold growth

  • Result in hidden damage beneath flooring or behind walls


Professional cleanup helps ensure contaminated materials are handled properly while reducing the risk of future issues.


Our Sewer Backup Cleanup Process


Every situation is different, but our cleanup process typically includes:


Emergency Assessment

We identify the source of the backup, evaluate the extent of the damage, and develop a restoration plan.


Water Extraction

Standing sewage and contaminated water are safely removed using commercial extraction equipment.


Removal of Unsalvageable Materials

Porous materials that cannot be safely cleaned—such as certain carpet, padding, drywall, or insulation—may need to be removed.


Cleaning & Sanitization

Affected surfaces are thoroughly cleaned using professional disinfectants designed for sewage contamination.


Structural Drying

Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers help dry the structure completely to reduce the potential for mold growth.


Odor Removal

We address odors at their source rather than simply masking them.

Common Causes of Sewer Backups


Sewer backups can happen for many reasons, including:


  • Tree root intrusion

  • Grease or debris blocking sewer lines

  • Heavy rain overwhelming municipal sewer systems

  • Damaged or collapsed sewer pipes

  • Aging plumbing systems

  • Flushing items that should not go down the drain


While some causes are unavoidable, routine plumbing maintenance can help reduce the likelihood of future backups.


Insurance Assistance


Many homeowner insurance policies provide coverage for sewer backup damage when the proper endorsements are in place. If your loss is covered, Moldman can work directly with your insurance company to help streamline the restoration process.
