After we handle your sewage emergency, your home returns to being the safe, clean space your family deserves. No lingering odors. No health hazards. No signs that anything ever happened.
You get back to your normal routine while we handle the mess, the cleanup, and the restoration work. Your insurance company gets proper documentation. Your family gets peace of mind knowing the job was done right by professionals who understand exactly what sewage contamination means for your health and your home.
The difference between professional sewage cleanup and attempting it yourself isn’t just about convenience—it’s about safety, thoroughness, and making sure the problem doesn’t come back to haunt you later.
We’ve been handling sewage emergencies across Nassau County for years, and we understand exactly what Herricks homeowners face when disaster strikes.
Located in a community where homes are connected to the Nassau County Sewage District, we know the local infrastructure and the specific challenges that can arise. When heavy rains overwhelm the system or when aging pipes fail, Herricks residents need someone who responds fast and gets the job done right.
We’re not a franchise operation. We’re your neighbors, and we treat every emergency with the same urgency we’d want for our own families.
When you call us, we dispatch our team immediately—usually within an hour. Our first priority is stopping the source and securing the area to prevent further contamination.
Next comes the extraction phase. We use truck-mounted equipment to remove all sewage and contaminated water, followed by thorough cleaning of all affected surfaces. This isn’t just about what you can see—sewage contamination requires deep sanitization to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
The final phase involves structural drying and deodorization. We use industrial-grade equipment to ensure every trace of moisture is eliminated, preventing mold growth. Then we treat the area to remove any lingering odors, so your home feels normal again.

Our sewage cleanup service includes everything you need to get your Herricks home back to normal. We handle water extraction, structural drying, complete sanitization, and deodorization—all with the specialized equipment required for sewage contamination.
In Herricks, where the median home value reflects significant investment, property owners can’t afford to take chances with sewage cleanup. The Nassau County area’s aging infrastructure and occasional heavy rainfall can create sewage backup situations that require immediate professional attention.
We also coordinate directly with your insurance company, handling the documentation and billing process so you can focus on getting your life back to normal. Our team understands local insurance requirements and works to ensure your claim is processed smoothly.
We typically arrive within an hour of your call, often sooner for emergency situations. Sewage contamination becomes more dangerous and more expensive to remediate the longer it sits, so we prioritize rapid response.
Our team is available 24/7 because sewage emergencies don’t wait for business hours. When you’re dealing with raw sewage in your home, every minute counts—both for your family’s health and for minimizing property damage.
We keep our trucks stocked with specialized equipment specifically for sewage cleanup, so we can begin the extraction and sanitization process immediately upon arrival.
Sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that make it extremely hazardous to handle without proper training and equipment. Unlike clean water damage, sewage contamination requires specialized sanitization procedures and protective gear.
The cleanup process involves not just removing the water, but completely disinfecting all affected surfaces and materials. Anything porous that can’t be properly sanitized typically needs to be removed and replaced to ensure your family’s safety.
We follow strict safety protocols during sewage cleanup, using EPA-approved disinfectants and following industry standards for biohazard remediation. This level of thoroughness is what protects your family from serious health risks.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental sewage backups, though coverage can vary depending on the cause and your specific policy terms. We work directly with insurance companies and can help determine your coverage.
We handle the documentation process, taking photos, measuring affected areas, and providing detailed reports that insurance adjusters need to process your claim. This removes the burden from you during an already stressful situation.
Our team bills your insurance company directly in most cases, so you don’t have to pay upfront and wait for reimbursement. We’ve worked with virtually every major insurance carrier and understand their requirements for sewage cleanup claims.
Sewage odors require more than just masking—they need to be eliminated at the source through proper sanitization and specialized deodorization treatments. We use industrial-grade equipment and EPA-approved treatments designed specifically for sewage contamination.
The process starts with complete removal of all contaminated materials and thorough cleaning of affected surfaces. Then we apply antimicrobial treatments that eliminate odor-causing bacteria and use ozone generators or hydroxyl generators to neutralize remaining odors.
Simply covering up sewage odors with air fresheners doesn’t work and can actually trap contaminated air in your home. Our approach ensures the odors are gone permanently, not just temporarily masked.
First, stay out of the contaminated area and keep family members and pets away from the sewage. Don’t attempt to clean it yourself—sewage contains dangerous pathogens that require professional handling.
If possible, turn off electricity to the affected area to prevent electrical hazards, but only if you can do so safely without entering the contaminated space. Document the damage with photos for your insurance claim, but maintain a safe distance.
Don’t use fans or open windows, as this can spread contaminated air throughout your home. We’ll handle proper ventilation and air filtration when we arrive with the appropriate equipment.
The timeline depends on the extent of contamination, but most residential sewage cleanup projects take 2-5 days from start to finish. Emergency extraction and initial sanitization typically happen on the first day, followed by structural drying and final restoration.
Drying time is crucial—we use moisture meters to ensure all affected materials are completely dry before we consider the job complete. Rushing this process can lead to mold growth and ongoing problems, so we take the time needed to do it right.
We keep you informed throughout the process and can provide temporary solutions if the affected area includes essential facilities like bathrooms or kitchens. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your daily life while ensuring thorough remediation.
