Blackwater contamination moves fast, so response speed and correct material removal decisions both matter on a Sewage Cleanup call.
Every technician carries an active bloodborne pathogen and water damage restoration certification, and full liability insurance covers your property.
Our Portola Valley dispatch pulls from the nearest available crew, not a distant regional hub.
We quote the Sewage Cleanup job after assessing contamination extent, so Portola Valley clients know the cost before work starts.
Every Portola Valley crew carries the equipment IICRC S500 protocols call for on a Category 3 water job.
Every Sewage Cleanup job gets scoped after assessing contamination extent, since backup source and duration both affect the right approach.
Truck-mount extraction units remove standing sewage water quickly, limiting how far contamination spreads into surrounding materials.
Anything porous that absorbed sewage gets removed — IICRC standards don't allow treating blackwater-soaked porous material in place.
Affected structural surfaces receive antimicrobial application to prevent bacterial and mold growth after extraction and removal.
We track drying progress with moisture meters rather than guessing when a structure is actually dry.
We flag the likely cause of the backup so you know whether a plumber or the municipality needs to get involved.
Odor treatment is the final step, applied only after the underlying contamination has been fully addressed.
