Emergency Sewage Cleanup

Hazardous Sewage Extraction & Biohazard Remediation

A sewage backup is one of the most dangerous water damage events a Hutto homeowner can face. Raw sewage—classified as Category 3 black water under IICRC standards—contains fecal coliform bacteria, E. coli, hepatitis pathogens, and dozens of other disease-causing organisms. Contact with sewage-contaminated surfaces or inhalation of sewage gas can cause serious illness in adults and children. This is not a job for DIY cleanup or a standard plumber—it requires trained biohazard remediation professionals equipped with the proper PPE, extraction tools, and decontamination chemistry.

Whether your issue stems from a municipal sewer line backup, a failed septic system, a blocked drain, or tree root intrusion into your lateral line, our certified team arrives quickly to stop the contamination, protect your family, and begin systematic extraction and decontamination of all affected areas.

Why Porous Materials Must Be Removed

Unlike clean water damage where carpet, drywall, and wood can sometimes be salvaged through rapid drying, Category 3 sewage contamination requires the removal and disposal of all porous materials that were in direct contact with the sewage. Carpet and pad, drywall to 12 inches above the water line, insulation, and sub-flooring materials absorb pathogens that cannot be killed by surface disinfectant alone—they penetrate too deeply. Attempting to dry and save these materials creates a persistent biohazard risk and guarantees long-term odor problems. DryNow technicians remove all unsalvageable materials safely, bag them for proper disposal, and document each item for your insurance claim.

Professional Decontamination & Clearance

After all contaminated materials are removed, we apply hospital-grade EPA-registered disinfectants to every hard surface in the affected area—concrete, tile, studs, and joists. A second application of antimicrobial treatment inhibits future bacterial and fungal growth. HEPA air scrubbers run throughout the decontamination process, capturing any airborne bioaerosols released during the extraction phase. Before we clear the space for reconstruction, our team conducts a final inspection to confirm that all visible contamination is eliminated and odors are fully neutralized. If any mold growth is detected during inspection, we transition directly into mold remediation without requiring a separate service call.
