Sewage Backup Cleanup
Pueblo, Colorado

A sewage backup or toilet overflow floods your property with Category 3 black water — raw sewage containing bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause serious illness. This is the most hazardous type of water damage and must be handled by trained professionals wearing full personal protective equipment.

Sewage backups happen for many reasons: clogged main sewer lines, tree root intrusion, heavy rainfall overwhelming municipal systems, or aging infrastructure. Whatever the cause, the cleanup requires specialized training, equipment, and EPA-registered disinfectants that are not available to the general public.

Why You Should Never DIY Sewage Cleanup

• Sewage contains E. coli, Hepatitis A, salmonella, and other pathogens
• Household cleaners do not adequately disinfect sewage-contaminated surfaces
• Improper handling spreads contamination to unaffected areas
• Porous materials that contact sewage must typically be discarded
• Insurance often requires professional documentation for coverage
