Time is critical with sewage backups because raw sewage is a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and viruses that create serious health hazards. Every hour that passes increases your risk of exposure and property damage. That’s why we prioritize emergency calls and maintain crews ready to respond immediately, day or night.
If left untreated and not treated properly, sewage water can cause serious health problems, especially in children and the elderly who suffer from chronic respiratory illness. Exposure to wastewater from a sewage backup can result in diseases including Hepatitis A, Tetanus, and Giardia.
Floodwater may contain sewage water and germs, and direct exposure may infect your eyes, skin, stomach, or intestines. This is exactly why many people underestimate the health risks and attempt to clean it up themselves without proper equipment or safety precautions—a dangerous mistake that can lead to serious illness.
Homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover all forms of water damage, and coverage for sewage backup varies significantly between policies. Some policies include sewage backup coverage, while others require a separate endorsement. The key is acting quickly and documenting everything properly.
Many property owners find that hiring professionals is more cost-effective than trying to handle cleanup efforts on their own. In fact, your insurance company may prefer that you work with professionals. We bill your insurance company directly, which simplifies the claims process and ensures proper documentation from the start.
Structural drying is critical—we thoroughly dry the affected areas to prevent mold growth. Proper cleanup requires specialized equipment, techniques, and expertise to ensure that all moisture is removed and affected areas are properly dried and sanitized. Our team uses industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and other advanced tools to ensure a thorough and efficient cleanup process.
Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours in moist conditions, which is why speed and thoroughness matter so much. After water extraction, we focus on drying and dehumidifying the affected area. This phase is vital to prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which can cause health issues and further damage your property. We don’t just remove the visible sewage—we eliminate the conditions that allow mold to thrive.
Call Green Island Group immediately for emergency sewage removal. Don’t try to clean it yourself—many people underestimate the health risks associated with sewage and attempt to clean it up themselves without proper equipment or safety precautions.
Document the damage by taking photos and videos for insurance purposes, but do this safely without direct contact with the sewage. Avoid the affected area entirely if possible, especially if you have children or elderly family members in the home. Keep yourself and everyone else safe by shutting off water and electricity if necessary, evacuating if there’s any chance of structural damage, and avoiding electrocution by staying out of flooded rooms or pools of water.
The cost depends on several factors: the extent of contamination, square footage affected, materials that need replacement, and how quickly you call for help. Delaying professional help can lead to more extensive damage and higher costs. Sewage backing up into your home can cost thousands in cleanup, and regular maintenance prevents expensive emergencies that can cost over $5,000 in repairs or system replacement.
We understand cost is a concern, which is why we provide transparent pricing and work directly with your insurance company when possible. Your property is probably one of your most valuable assets. When it’s threatened by water damage, don’t take risks of further damage or incomplete repairs. We have the right equipment and training to do a thorough job with professional results.
