NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You walk back into a space that’s completely safe. No lingering odors, no health risks, no wondering if something was missed. The contaminated materials are gone, surfaces are sanitized with EPA-approved disinfectants, and your property is restored to pre-damage condition.
You don’t have to worry about hidden bacteria or structural damage developing later. Our thorough process eliminates the immediate crisis and prevents long-term problems that could cost you thousands down the road.
Most importantly, you get your peace of mind back. The overwhelming stress of dealing with raw sewage is behind you, handled by professionals who know exactly what they’re doing.
We’ve been serving Lynbrook and Nassau County properties for years, handling everything from minor backups to major sewage emergencies. We know the specific challenges Long Island properties face – from aging sewer systems to storm-related flooding.
Our technicians are trained in proper sewage handling protocols and equipped with professional-grade extraction and sanitization equipment. We’re not a general cleaning service trying to handle sewage – this is what we specialize in.
When you call us, you’re working with a local team that understands Lynbrook’s infrastructure, responds quickly to your neighborhood, and has handled these exact situations in properties just like yours.
First, we assess the contamination level and secure the area for safety. Our team identifies the source of the backup and stops any ongoing flow while documenting everything for insurance purposes.
Next comes the extraction phase. We use powerful truck-mounted units to remove all contaminated water and waste materials. Everything that can’t be properly sanitized gets bagged and disposed of according to environmental regulations.
Then we focus on sanitization and structural drying. EPA-approved disinfectants eliminate bacteria, viruses, and odors while industrial dehumidifiers and air movers ensure no moisture remains that could lead to mold growth. We monitor moisture levels until your property is completely dry and safe for occupancy.

Our sewage cleanup service includes immediate water extraction, contaminated material removal, thorough sanitization, structural drying, and deodorization. We handle the entire restoration process from emergency response through final cleanup.
In Lynbrook, we see sewage backups caused by tree root intrusion into older sewer lines, heavy rainfall overwhelming the system, and clogged pipes from debris buildup. Nassau County’s mix of older infrastructure and coastal weather patterns creates unique challenges that require experienced local expertise.
We provide 24/7 emergency response because sewage backups don’t wait for business hours. Our rapid response helps minimize property damage and health risks while documenting everything needed for your insurance claim.
Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens including E. coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis A, and parasites that can cause serious illness or death. The contamination isn’t just on surfaces – it penetrates porous materials like drywall, flooring, and insulation.
Professional cleanup requires specialized equipment, protective gear, and EPA-approved disinfectants that aren’t available to homeowners. We follow strict protocols for safe removal, proper disposal, and thorough sanitization that eliminates health risks.
Attempting DIY cleanup puts your family at risk of infection and often leads to incomplete sanitization, resulting in lingering odors, mold growth, and ongoing health hazards.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call. Sewage emergencies require immediate attention to prevent further contamination spread and minimize property damage.
Our rapid response team is equipped with truck-mounted extraction units and can begin containment and removal immediately upon arrival. The faster we respond, the less damage occurs to your property and the lower your restoration costs.
We understand that sewage backups are stressful emergencies that can’t wait, which is why we maintain round-the-clock availability including weekends and holidays.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental sewage backups, but coverage varies by policy and cause of the backup. We work directly with insurance companies and provide detailed documentation to support your claim.
Our team photographs all damage, maintains detailed records of our restoration process, and provides itemized invoices that insurance adjusters need for claim processing. We can often bill your insurance directly, minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses.
We recommend calling us first to secure the property and begin cleanup, then contacting your insurance company. Delaying professional cleanup to wait for insurance approval often leads to greater damage and higher costs.
Our complete sewage cleanup includes water extraction, contaminated material removal, structural cleaning and sanitization, deodorization, and moisture control to prevent mold growth. We handle everything from initial emergency response through final restoration.
We remove and dispose of contaminated materials like carpeting, padding, and damaged drywall according to environmental regulations. All salvageable surfaces are cleaned with EPA-approved antimicrobial solutions, and we use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers for thorough structural drying.
The process concludes with air quality testing and final inspection to ensure your property is completely safe for occupancy. We provide documentation of all work performed for your records and insurance claim.
Sewage odors come from bacteria and organic matter that penetrate surfaces and building materials. Simple cleaning or air fresheners only mask odors temporarily – complete elimination requires professional deodorization techniques.
We use specialized equipment including ozone generators, hydroxyl generators, and thermal fogging to neutralize odor molecules at the source. Our EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments eliminate the bacteria causing odors, not just the smell itself.
Proper structural drying is crucial because moisture allows bacteria to continue growing and producing odors. Our moisture monitoring ensures complete drying, preventing odor recurrence and mold development.
Stop using all plumbing fixtures immediately to prevent additional sewage from entering your property. Turn off electricity to affected areas if there’s standing water, and keep people and pets away from contaminated areas.
Don’t attempt to clean up sewage yourself – even brief contact can cause serious illness. Wear protective gear if you must enter the area, and avoid tracking contamination to other parts of your property.
