NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Your basement stops smelling like a nightmare. The health risks disappear completely—no more worrying about what your kids might be breathing or touching down there.
You get your space back without the lingering reminder of what happened. The floors are dry, the air is clean, and you can actually use your basement again instead of avoiding it.
Your property value stays protected. When sewage cleanup is handled properly the first time, there’s no hidden moisture causing mold growth months later, no structural damage eating away at your foundation, and no insurance headaches from problems that could have been prevented.
We’ve cleaned up sewage disasters across Nassau County for years. We understand how Plainview’s soil conditions and older sewer systems create the perfect storm for basement backups.
Most companies treat every job the same way. We know that Plainview’s high water table and the way homes were built here in the 60s and 70s create specific challenges that require local expertise.
When your neighbors call us at 2 AM because their basement is flooded with sewage, we’re there within the hour. Not because we’re trying to impress anyone, but because we live here too and we know how quickly these situations can go from bad to catastrophic.
First, we assess what we’re dealing with. Not all sewage backups are the same, and the cleanup approach depends on how much contamination there is, where it came from, and how long it’s been sitting.
Next comes extraction and removal. We use truck-mounted equipment to pump out contaminated water and remove any materials that can’t be salvaged. This isn’t a shop-vac job—it requires industrial-grade equipment designed specifically for hazardous waste.
Finally, we sanitize and dry everything completely. We don’t just clean what you can see. We use specialized treatments to eliminate bacteria and viruses, then deploy commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to make sure every trace of moisture is gone. Because if there’s hidden moisture, you’ll have mold problems in a few weeks that’ll cost more than the original cleanup.

You get complete water extraction using powerful pumps that remove standing water and contaminated materials quickly. We don’t leave anything to chance when it comes to removing hazardous waste from your property.
Structural drying comes next—we set up commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture from walls, floors, and hidden spaces. In Plainview’s humid climate, this step prevents the mold growth that destroys homes and makes families sick.
Deodorization eliminates the sewage smell completely. We use specialized treatments that neutralize odors at the molecular level, not just mask them with air fresheners. When we’re done, your basement smells normal again.
You also get help with insurance claims. We document everything, take photos, and work directly with your insurance company so you don’t have to fight for coverage while dealing with a sewage disaster.
We respond to sewage emergencies in Plainview within an hour, 24/7. Sewage backups don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
The faster we get there, the less damage occurs. Every hour that sewage sits in your basement means more contamination seeping into walls and flooring, more odor absorption, and higher cleanup costs. We keep trucks stocked with emergency equipment specifically so we can start extraction immediately when we arrive.
Our response time matters because sewage contains bacteria and viruses that multiply rapidly. The longer contaminated water sits, the greater the health risk to your family and the more extensive the cleanup becomes.
Sewage cleanup requires specialized equipment, training, and safety protocols that regular water damage companies don’t have. We’re dealing with Category 3 contaminated water that contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens.
Our technicians wear full protective equipment and use EPA-approved disinfectants designed specifically for sewage contamination. Regular water damage equipment isn’t sufficient—we use truck-mounted extraction units and specialized sanitization treatments that eliminate health hazards completely.
The drying process is also different. We have to ensure that all contaminated materials are either properly cleaned or removed entirely. There’s no room for shortcuts when family health is at stake.
Most standard homeowners policies don’t automatically cover sewage backups, but many insurers offer sewage backup coverage as an add-on for about $5 per month. We work with insurance companies daily and can help determine what’s covered.
We document everything thoroughly and work directly with your insurance company to maximize your coverage. This includes detailed photos, moisture readings, and itemized lists of damaged materials that need replacement.
If you don’t have sewage backup coverage, we provide upfront pricing so there are no surprises. Many homeowners find that professional cleanup costs less than trying to handle it themselves and dealing with the health problems and property damage that result from incomplete cleanup.
Mold prevention starts with complete moisture removal using commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. We don’t just dry what’s visible—we use moisture meters to check inside walls and under flooring to ensure everything is completely dry.
We also remove any materials that can’t be properly sanitized. Drywall and insulation that’s been contaminated with sewage often needs replacement because it’s nearly impossible to eliminate all bacteria and moisture from these porous materials.
Our final step includes antimicrobial treatment on all surfaces to prevent future mold growth. We don’t consider the job complete until moisture levels are back to normal and all contaminated materials have been properly addressed. Most mold problems after sewage cleanup happen because someone cut corners during the drying process.
Stop using all water in your house immediately—don’t flush toilets, run washing machines, or use sinks. Anything you put down the drain will just add to the backup until the blockage is cleared.
Stay out of the contaminated area. Sewage contains dangerous bacteria and viruses that can cause serious illness. Don’t try to clean it up yourself or let family members walk through it.
Call us right away at 631-256-5711. Take photos for insurance purposes if you can do so safely, but don’t delay getting professional help. The longer sewage sits, the more damage it causes and the more expensive cleanup becomes.
Sewage cleanup typically costs between $7-15 per square foot, with most Plainview jobs ranging from $2,000-10,000 depending on the extent of contamination and damage. The final cost depends on how much area is affected and what materials need replacement.
Emergency calls cost more than scheduled service, which is why we recommend addressing slow drains and sewage odors before they become full backups. Prevention is always less expensive than emergency cleanup.
We provide upfront estimates and work with your insurance company to minimize out-of-pocket costs. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that professional cleanup often costs less than they expected, especially when you factor in the health risks and property damage that result from improper cleanup.
