Sewage Cleanup
Professional Sewage Cleanup & Disinfection
Sewage backups are among the most hazardous types of water damage, carrying bacteria, viruses, and contaminants that threaten both health and property. Pintail Restoration provides professional sewage cleanup services and expert sewage backup cleaning for homes and businesses across Greater Houston.
Our trained team responds quickly to contain affected areas, remove contaminated materials, and restore your property to a safe, livable condition. We follow strict safety standards and use EPA-registered cleaning agents for effective, responsible cleanup.
When to Call for Sewage Cleanup
If you experience a toilet overflow, drain backup, or flooding that smells foul or contains discoloration, contact a professional immediately. Sewage water can spread quickly through floors, walls, and HVAC systems, increasing contamination risks the longer it sits.
Safe & Structured Cleanup for Contaminated Water
Our first priority is containment and safety. When our team arrives, we’ll isolate affected areas, shut down HVAC systems to prevent cross-contamination, and begin emergency sewage removal. Contaminated materials such as carpet, padding, drywall, or insulation are carefully removed and sealed for disposal according to local regulations.
We then clean and disinfect all remaining surfaces, using specialized equipment and cleaning agents designed to neutralize harmful microorganisms. Once cleanup is complete, we run dehumidifiers and air filtration units to dry the area and restore indoor air quality.
Before completing the project, we conduct a thorough inspection and document all work performed, providing a detailed report for your insurance provider. Our team ensures every step of sewage damage restoration is handled meticulously, remaining on-site until drying goals are met and the space is verified ready for reconstruction or reoccupancy.
