Sewage Backup Cleanup Across Chicagoland
A sewage backup is the one flood you should never touch yourself. The water carries bacteria and pathogens that a shop-vac and a bottle of bleach don't handle, and everything porous it reaches has to be sanitized or removed — properly. We suit up, pump out, disinfect, and dry, and we do it at 2am if that's when the pit backs up.
01The Scope
Contaminated water, handled like it
Extraction comes first, with the protective equipment and containment this class of water demands. Then the honest sort: carpet pad, drywall, and contents that soaked in contaminated water leave the house; hard surfaces get antimicrobial treatment, not just a rinse.
The cause gets diagnosed while we work — failed ejector pump, municipal main surcharge, root-blocked lateral — and documented, because sewer-backup coverage is a specific rider on most policies and the claim lives or dies on that paperwork.
Then drying, clearance, and rebuild: the same crew that pumped it out puts the finished space back.

Different houses, same standard.
03Response & Timeline
Same-day emergency response, 24/7. Sanitation and dry-out typically run 3 to 5 days before rebuild starts.
04Insurance & Cost
Sewer and sump backup coverage is a policy rider most carriers offer — we identify the cause, document it to claim standards, and bill your carrier directly where coverage applies.
Assessments are free, and the scope is documented in writing before work starts. No pricing games.
