Yes. Sewage contains dangerous microorganisms like E. coli, hepatitis, and parasites. Exposure can cause serious illness. It requires immediate, professional cleanup. Do not attempt to handle it yourself.

1) Evacuate the affected area and keep children and pets away. 2) Avoid contact with the water and do not use sinks or toilets. 3) Turn off HVAC systems to prevent spreading contaminants. 4) Call us immediately for emergency hazardous cleanup.

Coverage varies. Many standard policies exclude sewage backup unless you have a specific endorsement or rider. We can help you assess the damage and communicate with your insurer to clarify your coverage. We handle all approved claims directly.

Household bleach cannot properly disinfect porous materials like drywall or subflooring, where pathogens deeply penetrate. Professional-grade disinfectants, specialized equipment, and controlled demolition are often required to ensure complete safety and prevent lingering health risks.
