Sewage Cleanup

True North Restoration of Savannah, GA, is dedicated to helping our customers through difficult times. Experiencing a sewage backup is stressful and unexpected, and knowing what to do can be a challenge. When you call our experienced team, we’ll arrive fully equipped and ready to get started.   

After we arrive, we’ll assess the situation and get to work mitigating the damage caused by the sewage backup. We’ll work quickly to contain the damage and begin extracting the sewage using pumps and vacuums. Any carpeting, drywall, insulation, and other porous items that have come into contact with the sewage are removed and all remaining hard surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove any trace of sewage contaminants. The area is thoroughly dried and cleaned before repairs can take place.

You should check your policy or consult your insurance agent to determine if sewage backups are covered by your homeowner’s insurance. Some policies will cover water damage from sudden events, and some may require an additional rider for sewage damage. Because sewage damage requires the removal and replacement of contaminated materials, repair costs can be quite expensive.   

We will work directly with your insurance company on all covered sewage damage losses to ensure your claim is processed quickly so your home can be restored as soon as possible. If you have experienced a sewage backup, contact True North Restoration of Savannah, GA, right away to limit the damage and begin restoring your property.

Sewage backups are commonly caused by blockages or clogs in sewage lines. This can occur on your property or further downline. Sewage backups can also occur when the sewage system is overwhelmed by flooding and other issues.   Some of the most common causes of sewage backups in Savannah, GA, include:  

• Damaged or clogged sewage lines 
• Overwhelmed sewage systems 
• Flash flooding 
• Tree root obstructions in sewage lines

Sewage cleanup should always be handled by a professional with the proper equipment and knowledge necessary to eliminate biohazards in your property. Because sewage is grossly contaminated water, extra care must be taken when handling contaminated materials to prevent illness.
