24/7 Commercial Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup
A raw sewage backup or biohazard incident in your facility requires immediate, professional intervention. Our hazmat-trained technicians are on call 24/7 to safely contain the contamination, extract waste, and sanitize your commercial property so you can reopen safely.
Safe, OSHA-Compliant Category 3 Water Removal
A commercial sewage backup is far more than a messy inconvenience—it is a severe Category 3 (black water) health hazard. Whether it’s a backed-up grease trap in a restaurant, a flooded public restroom in a retail center, or a ruptured sewer line in an apartment complex, the water contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and microbes that can cause serious illness and massive liability.
Attempting to clean up raw sewage in-house puts your employees at risk and often leaves dangerous contaminants behind. Our specialized commercial team arrives in full personal protective equipment (PPE) with industrial extractors. We strip the property down to a clean, safe foundation, ensuring total compliance with health and safety regulations.
Our Commercial Biohazard
Recovery Process
Hazmat Containment & Extraction
We immediately secure the contaminated area to protect your staff and patrons. We then use commercial vacuum units to safely extract raw sewage, sludge, and standing black water.
Contaminated Material Disposal
Category 3 water permanently destroys porous items. We safely tear out and dispose of unsalvageable materials like commercial carpets, drywall, and subflooring according to biohazard protocols.
Hospital-Grade Deep Sanitization
We apply hospital-grade antimicrobials across all affected surfaces and deploy heavy-duty air scrubbers to eliminate dangerous bacteria, pathogens, and lingering foul odors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Biohazard FAQs
Essential information for property managers dealing with a sewage emergency.
Question 1: Can we just bleach the floors after a sewage backup?
No. Raw sewage is highly toxic and permeates porous materials. Mopping with bleach will not reach the bacteria that has soaked into the subfloor, drywall, or concrete. Professional extraction, structural removal of porous materials, and specialized antimicrobials are required to make the space legally safe for occupation.
Question 2: Do we have to close our business during the cleanup?
Not necessarily. If the sewage backup is localized (e.g., a single public restroom or a specific apartment unit), we can install heavy-duty physical barriers and negative air systems to contain the biohazard. This allows the rest of your facility to remain open safely.
Question 3: Can you get rid of the lingering sewage smell?
Yes. Odor control is a major part of our process. By removing the contaminated materials entirely, drying the structure, and using commercial air scrubbers and advanced deodorization techniques, we permanently eliminate the smell rather than just masking it.
