First, stay out of the affected area to avoid health risks. Turn off electrical power if it's safe, stop using water to prevent further backup, and call a professional sewage cleanup service like ERS immediately. Avoid trying to clean it yourself — sewage contains hazardous contaminants.
Yes. Sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that can cause serious illnesses, including infections and respiratory problems. Immediate, professional cleanup and thorough sanitization are crucial to protect your health.
Cleanup should begin as soon as possible — ideally within hours of the backup. The longer sewage remains, the greater the risk of contamination, property damage, and mold growth.
It’s strongly advised not to. Sewage cleanup requires specialized equipment, protective gear, and proper sanitization methods to ensure safety and prevent long-term contamination. Leave it to trained professionals like ERS.
Common causes include clogged or damaged sewer lines, heavy rainfall overwhelming sewer systems, tree root intrusions, and aging plumbing. Regular maintenance can help prevent many of these issues.
Many homeowners' policies offer sewage backup coverage as an add-on. ERS assists with claims, making the process easier for you. Check your policy details or consult your agent.
The cleanup time depends on the severity of the backup and the extent of contamination. Most emergency cleanups take from several hours to a couple of days, with additional time for drying and restoration if needed.
Professional cleanup includes immediate water extraction, removal of contaminated materials, thorough cleaning and sanitization, odor removal, drying and dehumidification, and full restoration of affected areas.
Yes. Moisture from sewage backups can trigger mold growth within 24–48 hours. Professional drying and dehumidification are essential to prevent mold and its associated health risks.
