NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You know that overwhelming feeling when you discover sewage backup in your basement or bathroom. The smell hits you first, then the reality of what you’re facing: dangerous contamination that threatens your family’s health and could destroy everything it touches.
Here’s what changes when you call us. Within an hour, our emergency response team arrives with truck-mounted extraction equipment and begins containing the contamination. No more wondering if it’s safe. No more smell that makes you sick to your stomach.
By the time we’re finished, your property isn’t just clean—it’s genuinely safe. Complete water extraction, professional-grade sanitization, and structural drying that prevents mold growth. You’ll have documentation proving your home meets safety standards, plus the peace of mind that comes from knowing the job was done right.
We’ve completed over 5,000 restoration projects across New York, and Long Island City’s sewage problems are nothing new to us. We know exactly why your basement floods every time it rains hard. We understand how the aging sewer infrastructure in this area creates backups that affect multiple properties at once.
What you get from our experience: technicians who arrive knowing what equipment they’ll need, how Long Island City’s unique drainage challenges affect cleanup, and which restoration approaches work best in older buildings common to this area.
Since 2012, we’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will and not leaving until your property is genuinely safe. Our 4.7-star rating comes from property owners who needed real results during genuine emergencies. That’s the standard you can expect.
We start with a complete contamination assessment to identify every affected area and potential safety hazard. You’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with before any work begins—no surprises, no hidden damage discovered later.
Next comes immediate extraction using truck-mounted equipment that removes both sewage and contaminated water in one operation. We don’t just pump out what you can see; we extract contamination from behind walls, under flooring, and in areas where sewage has soaked into building materials.
The final phase involves complete sanitization with hospital-grade disinfectants, followed by structural drying using commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels throughout the process and don’t consider the job complete until air quality testing confirms your property is safe for occupancy.

Your sewage cleanup includes professional water extraction, complete sanitization, structural drying, deodorization, and any minor repairs needed to restore your property. We handle everything from initial emergency response through final restoration.
Long Island City’s infrastructure challenges mean we regularly handle complex scenarios: basement flooding that combines sewage with stormwater, multiple-unit buildings where one backup affects several apartments, and older properties where sewage has penetrated building materials that need specialized treatment.
We coordinate directly with your insurance company, provide all necessary documentation, and handle the claims process from start to finish. Most Long Island City homeowners discover their sewage cleanup is fully covered when handled by licensed professionals who know how to document damage properly for insurance purposes.
We maintain 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call anywhere in Long Island City. Our emergency trucks are pre-loaded with everything needed for immediate sewage cleanup: truck-mounted extraction equipment, professional sanitizers, containment barriers, and safety gear.
Time is critical with sewage contamination. Every hour of delay increases health risks, property damage, and restoration costs. Bacteria multiply rapidly in sewage, and contamination spreads to unaffected areas through air circulation and foot traffic.
We don’t just dispatch the closest available truck—we send teams specifically equipped for sewage cleanup with the training and equipment needed to begin containment and extraction immediately upon arrival.
Absolutely not. You must evacuate all affected areas immediately and cannot return until we complete sanitization and conduct air quality testing. Raw sewage contains E. coli, salmonella, hepatitis, and other dangerous pathogens that cause serious illness through airborne exposure.
We establish physical containment barriers and use negative air pressure systems to prevent contamination from spreading to clean areas of your home. Our technicians wear full protective equipment including respirators, protective suits, and gloves throughout the cleanup process.
You’ll receive written confirmation that all contamination has been eliminated and air quality meets safety standards before we recommend re-occupancy. This isn’t optional—it’s essential for your family’s health and safety.
Sewage cleanup requires specialized biohazard training, equipment, and safety protocols that standard water damage companies don’t have. We’re dealing with Category 3 contamination containing deadly pathogens that can cause serious illness or death through exposure.
Our technicians are trained in biohazard handling procedures and use hospital-grade disinfectants that eliminate bacteria, viruses, and parasites. We follow strict EPA and OSHA guidelines for contaminated material disposal, air quality monitoring, and worker safety throughout the process.
Regular water damage restoration doesn’t address these health hazards and isn’t sufficient for sewage contamination. Using the wrong company could leave dangerous bacteria in your home and void your insurance coverage.
Most homeowner’s policies cover sewage cleanup when the backup originates from municipal sewer lines or results from covered perils like storms. However, coverage varies significantly based on your specific policy language and the documented cause of the backup.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout Long Island City and handle all claim documentation, including detailed damage assessments, photo documentation, and restoration plans. Our experience with local insurers helps ensure you receive maximum coverage for necessary cleanup and restoration work.
The critical factor is using licensed professionals immediately. Insurance companies routinely deny claims when homeowners attempt DIY cleanup or delay professional intervention, because improper handling leads to secondary damage that wasn’t part of the original covered loss.
Sewage odors cannot be masked or covered up—they must be eliminated at the source through complete sanitization and specialized deodorization. We use a multi-phase approach: removing all contaminated materials, sanitizing all affected surfaces with antimicrobial solutions, and treating the air with ozone generators and thermal fogging equipment.
Our deodorization process neutralizes odor-causing bacteria at the molecular level. We use negative air pressure systems to remove contaminated air and replace it with HEPA-filtered clean air throughout the treatment process.
We conduct odor testing using calibrated equipment to verify complete elimination. If any sewage odors remain after our initial treatment, we return at no additional cost to identify and eliminate the source until your property passes our odor-elimination standards.
Stop using all plumbing immediately to prevent additional backup, evacuate the contaminated area, and call us right away at the first sign of sewage. Do not attempt any cleanup yourself—you risk serious illness and may spread contamination to clean areas of your home.
Turn off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely from outside the contaminated zone. Never enter areas where sewage and electricity may interact. Avoid walking through contaminated areas, as this tracks dangerous bacteria throughout your property.
Document damage with photos from outside the contaminated area for insurance purposes, but do not enter affected areas until our professionals arrive with proper safety equipment. We handle initial assessment, emergency containment, and begin immediate cleanup to minimize health risks and property damage.
