Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers, Velo PRO air movers, and FLIR thermal imaging on every truck.

FLIR thermal mapping and moisture meters document every affected zone for your insurance adjuster.
Sewage backups are Category 3 black water. We establish containment and use full personal protective equipment before any extraction begins.
Truck-mount extractors remove sewage-contaminated water, with all extracted material disposed of according to EPA guidelines.
Porous materials that contacted sewage, including carpet, padding, and lower drywall, are removed rather than cleaned, since Category 3 contamination can't be fully reversed in absorbent materials.
EPA-registered antimicrobials treat all remaining surfaces, then Dri-Eaz drying equipment brings the structure to ANSI/IICRC S500-2021 standards.
A sewage backup or backed-up sewer line is Category 3 black water under IICRC classification, meaning it carries bacteria and pathogens that require full protective handling. We don't treat it like a clean-water job. Containment, biohazard-trained extraction, disposal of contaminated materials, and full disinfection, every time.
Sewage cleanup done wrong leaves contamination behind that surfaces later as odor or health complaints. We follow IICRC S500 protocol for Category 3 water on every job, with EPA-registered disinfectants and documentation for your insurance claim.
Live dispatcher every call, day or night. No voicemail, no answering service.
IICRC-certified technicians with WRT and ASD credentials on every job.

Sewage backups in Wilmington tend to come from one of two sources. Here's how we respond to each.
Problem: Older Wilmington sewer lines can back up during heavy nor'easter rainfall, sending contaminated water up through basement floor drains into a finished space.
Our Solution: Full containment and PPE protocol on arrival, sewage extraction, removal of contaminated porous materials, and EPA-registered disinfection of the entire affected area.
Problem: A toilet overflow that sits untreated for more than 24 hours is reclassified from Category 2 gray water to Category 3 black water under IICRC standards, requiring full biohazard protocol.
Our Solution: We assess the time elapsed and contamination level, then apply the correct category's protocol rather than treating it as a simple gray-water cleanup.
Standard homeowners insurance often excludes sewage backup unless you carry a specific water backup endorsement. Check your policy for this coverage. We document the source and contamination level either way, which your adjuster needs regardless of coverage outcome.
We don't recommend it. Category 3 black water carries bacteria and pathogens that require full protective equipment and proper disposal. Without that, you risk both health exposure and missing contamination that resurfaces as odor or illness later.
Porous materials that contacted Category 3 water, like carpet, padding, and lower drywall, are removed and disposed of per EPA guidelines rather than cleaned, since contamination in absorbent materials can't be fully reversed.
Extraction and contaminated-material removal typically happen the same day. Disinfection and verification drying afterward usually take 2 to 4 days, depending on the affected area and how much material needed removal.
