CONTAMINATED WATER CLEANUP
Sewage Damage Requires More Than Water Removal
A sewer backup, overflowing fixture, failed septic system, or other contaminated-water event can affect flooring, drywall, cabinets, contents, and structural materials.
Because sewage may contain biological and other contaminants, cleanup often requires controlled removal of affected materials, detailed cleaning and sanitization, and professional drying of the remaining structure.
Matrix Mitigation Services evaluates the affected areas and develops a mitigation plan based on the source of the loss, contamination, materials involved, and conditions present at the property.
SEWAGE CLEANUP SERVICES
Professional Cleanup for Contaminated Water Losses
The appropriate response depends on the source and extent of the contamination, the materials affected, and how long the loss has been present.
Affected Material Removal
Porous materials that cannot be appropriately cleaned or restored may require controlled removal.
Cleaning & Sanitization
Remaining surfaces are cleaned and treated using procedures appropriate for contaminated-water conditions.
Structural Drying
Air movement, dehumidification, and moisture monitoring may be used after contaminated materials have been addressed.
Odor Control
Odors associated with sewage losses may require additional cleaning and treatment after contaminated materials are removed.
Documentation
We document affected areas, mitigation activity, and relevant conditions throughout the cleanup process.
SAFETY FIRST
Limit Contact With the Affected Area
Until the affected area can be evaluated, keep children, pets, and unnecessary foot traffic away from sewage-contaminated spaces.
Avoid using household fans to move air through a contaminated area, and do not handle affected porous materials without appropriate protective equipment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sewage Cleanup FAQs
What should I do after a sewage backup?
Keep people and pets away from the affected area and avoid direct contact with contaminated water or materials. If it can be done safely, stop the source and contact a professional cleanup company.
Can I clean up a sewage backup myself?
Small situations vary, but sewage may contain contaminants that require protective equipment, controlled removal, cleaning, and sanitization. Significant or widespread losses are best evaluated professionally.
Will drywall or flooring have to be removed?
It depends on the materials affected, the extent of contamination, and whether those materials can be appropriately cleaned and restored.

We can document the mitigation work and relevant conditions and communicate information about the work performed. Coverage decisions remain subject to the property owner's policy and insurance carrier.
