NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You walk back into a home that’s not just clean—it’s safe. The smell is gone. The health risks are eliminated. Your floors are dry, your air is fresh, and your family can breathe easy again.
That’s what happens when sewage cleanup is done right. No lingering odors, no hidden moisture causing mold growth later, no wondering if dangerous bacteria are still lurking in corners you can’t see.
Most property owners in Inwood don’t realize that sewage contains Category 3 contaminated water—the most dangerous classification. This isn’t something you mop up and move on from. It requires specialized extraction equipment, industrial-grade sanitization, and structural drying techniques that prevent secondary damage.
We’ve been handling sewage emergencies across Nassau County for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with Long Island’s aging infrastructure and the specific risks Inwood residents face.
Unlike companies that treat every job the same way, we know that Nassau County properties have their own quirks. We’ve cleaned up sewage backups in century-old homes with original plumbing and modern developments with complex drainage systems.
Our technicians live and work in Nassau County. When you call us, you’re getting neighbors who understand what you’re going through and have the expertise to fix it right the first time.
First, we assess the situation completely. Our technicians identify the source of the backup, determine the extent of contamination, and check for any safety hazards like electrical risks or structural concerns.
Next comes extraction and removal. We use powerful truck-mounted equipment to remove all sewage and contaminated water, including what’s hidden under flooring or absorbed into walls. This isn’t a shop-vac job—we’re talking about industrial-grade extraction that gets everything.
Finally, we sanitize and dry everything thoroughly. We treat all affected surfaces with EPA-approved disinfectants, then use advanced drying equipment to eliminate moisture completely. This prevents mold growth and ensures your property is truly restored, not just cleaned up.

Your sewage cleanup service includes water extraction using powerful pumps and vacuums, structural drying with industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, complete deodorization to eliminate lingering smells, and minor repairs to address damage caused by the backup.
In Inwood and throughout Nassau County, we see sewage backups caused by everything from aging sewer lines to heavy rainfall overwhelming the system. The good news is that most homeowner’s insurance policies cover professional sewage cleanup when it’s done by certified technicians.

We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Nassau County, typically arriving within an hour of your call. Time is critical with sewage backups because the contamination spreads quickly and health risks increase the longer sewage sits in your property.

When you call our emergency line, you’ll speak directly with our dispatch team who can immediately send technicians to your location while walking you through immediate safety steps to protect your family.
Sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that can cause serious illnesses including Hepatitis A, Tetanus, and Giardia. Direct contact with sewage water can lead to skin infections, gastrointestinal illness, and respiratory problems, especially in children and elderly family members.
The contamination doesn’t just stay where you can see it. Sewage water seeps under flooring, gets absorbed into walls, and can contaminate your HVAC system if not properly contained. Even after the visible sewage is removed, harmful microorganisms can remain active in porous materials.
Professional sanitization eliminates these health hazards completely. We use EPA-approved disinfectants and follow strict protocols to ensure every contaminated surface is properly treated and safe for your family.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sewage cleanup when the backup is sudden and accidental, such as from a blocked sewer line or heavy rainfall overwhelming the system. Coverage typically includes professional cleanup, sanitization, and restoration of damaged materials.
We work directly with insurance companies and can handle the claims process for you. Our technicians document everything thoroughly and provide detailed reports that insurance adjusters need to process your claim quickly.
In many cases, we can bill your insurance company directly, so you don’t have to pay upfront costs during an emergency. We’ll also help you understand exactly what’s covered and work within your policy limits to maximize your benefits.
Attempting DIY sewage cleanup is dangerous and often costs more in the long run. Sewage contains Category 3 contaminated water that requires specialized equipment and safety protocols to handle safely. Without proper extraction equipment, you can’t remove all the contamination, leading to ongoing health risks and property damage.
Most homeowners don’t have access to industrial-grade extraction equipment, EPA-approved sanitizers, or moisture detection tools needed to ensure complete cleanup. Incomplete cleanup often leads to mold growth, persistent odors, and structural damage that costs far more to fix later.
Professional cleanup also ensures your insurance claim is handled properly. Insurance companies often require certified technicians to perform sewage cleanup to validate claims, so DIY attempts can actually void your coverage.
Preventing mold growth requires complete moisture removal and proper sanitization, which we accomplish through industrial-grade structural drying and dehumidification. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours in moist conditions, so speed and thoroughness are essential.
We use advanced moisture detection equipment to identify hidden water in walls, under flooring, and in other areas that aren’t immediately visible. Our drying equipment includes powerful dehumidifiers and air movers that bring moisture levels back to normal ranges throughout your property.
All affected materials are treated with antimicrobial solutions that prevent mold and bacteria growth. We also monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process to ensure everything reaches proper dryness before we consider the job complete.
First, ensure everyone’s safety by keeping family members and pets away from the contaminated area. Turn off electricity to affected areas if it’s safe to do so, but never enter standing water if electrical outlets or appliances might be submerged.
Document the damage by taking photos and videos for your insurance claim, but don’t attempt any cleanup yourself. Contact us immediately for emergency response—the sooner professional cleanup begins, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs will be.
Avoid using fans or opening windows, which can spread contamination to other areas of your home. Don’t use household cleaning products on sewage, as they’re not designed for this level of contamination and can actually make the situation worse by creating chemical reactions.
