NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You walk back into a home that’s not just clean—it’s actually safe. The overwhelming smell is gone. The contamination has been completely eliminated. Your floors, walls, and belongings have been properly sanitized or safely removed.
Most importantly, you can breathe easy knowing harmful bacteria and viruses have been eliminated by professionals who understand exactly what sewage contamination means for your family’s health. Your insurance has been handled. The restoration is complete.
This is what proper sewage cleanup looks like when it’s done right the first time.
We’ve been cleaning up sewage disasters across Queens for years. We understand Steinway’s aging infrastructure, the combined sewer systems that can overwhelm during heavy rains, and the unique challenges of apartment buildings where contamination can spread quickly.
We’re not just another cleanup company. We’re locals who know that when sewage backs up in your Steinway home, you need someone who can respond immediately, work directly with your insurance company, and get the job done safely.
Our team has seen it all—from toilet overflows in small apartments to major basement flooding from sewer line failures.
First, we assess the contamination level and identify all affected areas—including hidden moisture that can cause problems later. Our technicians arrive with protective gear and specialized equipment designed for sewage extraction.
Next comes the actual removal and cleaning. We extract all contaminated water using powerful pumps, remove damaged materials that can’t be safely restored, and begin the sanitization process. Everything gets cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectants.
Finally, we dry and deodorize completely. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers ensure no moisture remains. Specialized treatments eliminate odors at the source, not just mask them. We don’t consider the job finished until your space passes our final safety inspection.

Your sewage cleanup includes water extraction, structural drying, complete sanitization, and deodorization. We handle contaminated material removal, air quality restoration, and any necessary repairs to get your home back to normal.
In Steinway specifically, we see a lot of basement sewage issues due to the area’s older building infrastructure and the city’s combined sewer system. When heavy rains overwhelm the system, sewage can back up through floor drains and basement fixtures. We know exactly how to handle these situations safely.
We also work directly with your insurance company, providing all necessary documentation and often billing them directly so you don’t have upfront costs during an already stressful situation.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and can typically arrive at your Steinway location within an hour of your call. Sewage backups are true emergencies because of the health risks involved—harmful bacteria and viruses multiply quickly in contaminated water.
The faster we can begin extraction and sanitization, the less damage occurs and the lower your overall costs will be. We keep emergency crews on standby specifically because we know these situations can’t wait until morning.
Time matters with sewage cleanup. Every hour of delay means more contamination, more property damage, and higher health risks for your family.
Sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that regular water damage doesn’t have. This means we need specialized equipment, protective gear, and sanitization procedures that go far beyond standard water extraction.
Many materials that could be saved in a clean water situation—like carpets, drywall, and upholstered furniture—often need to be completely removed and replaced when contaminated with sewage. The health risks are too serious to take chances.
We also follow strict protocols for disposal of contaminated materials and use hospital-grade disinfectants throughout the entire affected area. Regular water damage companies aren’t equipped or trained for this level of contamination.
Many homeowners insurance policies don’t automatically cover sewer backup damage, but many residents have added sewer backup coverage to their policies. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you understand your coverage.
We handle all the documentation, photos, and paperwork your insurance company needs. In many cases, we can bill your insurance directly so you don’t need to pay upfront costs while dealing with the emergency.
Even if your standard policy doesn’t cover it, some insurance companies offer affordable sewer backup riders. We can help you navigate the claims process and maximize whatever coverage you have available.
We use a multi-step process that starts with complete extraction of all contaminated water and removal of any materials that can’t be safely restored. Then we sanitize every surface with EPA-approved disinfectants specifically designed for sewage contamination.
For odors, we don’t just mask them—we eliminate them at the source using specialized deodorization treatments and ozone generators when necessary. Our industrial-grade air scrubbers remove airborne contaminants during the entire process.
We conduct a final inspection and air quality test before considering any job complete. If you can still detect any odor or if our testing shows any remaining contamination, we continue working until everything meets safety standards.
First, don’t enter the contaminated area if possible—sewage contains dangerous bacteria that can make you seriously ill. Turn off electricity to the affected area if you can do so safely from outside the contaminated zone.
Don’t try to clean it yourself. Sewage cleanup requires protective equipment and specialized training. Even small exposures can cause serious health problems, especially if you have any cuts or open wounds.
Call us immediately at the first sign of sewage backup. Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes, but don’t handle anything that’s been contaminated. The sooner we can start professional cleanup, the better the outcome for your health and property.
Sewage cleanup costs typically range from $2,000 to $10,000 depending on the extent of contamination and damage. Factors include the affected square footage, how long the sewage was present, and what materials need to be removed versus restored.
Basement sewage backups in Steinway often fall in the middle of this range because of the typical apartment and townhome layouts in the area. However, catching the problem early and calling professionals immediately can significantly reduce costs.
We provide upfront estimates and work directly with insurance companies when possible. Remember that attempting DIY cleanup often leads to bigger problems and higher costs later—proper sewage cleanup the first time is always more economical than dealing with mold or ongoing contamination issues.
