Sewage Backup & Contaminated Water Cleanup

Overview

Sewage and floodwater carry bacteria, viruses and parasites. This is Category 3 water under IICRC guidelines, and porous materials it touches usually have to be removed, not just dried.

Mammoth crews wear full PPE, set up containment, extract the contaminated water, remove affected materials, and disinfect every remaining surface before drying begins.

When to call

• Toilets or floor drains backing up
• Sewage odor in a basement or crawlspace
• Floodwater that entered from outside the home
