Sewage from a backed-up drain or toilet is extracted with protective gear, the area is contained and soaked materials are removed.

Your Emergency Damage Restoration Questions Addressed
Is sewage backup cleanup a health hazard?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and contaminants, so cleanup needs protective gear, containment and disinfection.
Why is quick action so important for water damage?
Materials soak up more water every hour, and mold becomes more likely after a day or two.
Can water-damaged electronics be restored?
Sometimes. They should stay unplugged and off until a specialist checks them, since powering them on can cause more damage.
What makes a water damage situation an emergency?
Water that is still spreading, sewage, sagging ceilings, water near electrical systems or flooding in several rooms.
What belongings can be cleaned and restored after water damage?
Hard items and solid wood often can. Soft items soaked by sewage or floodwater usually cannot.
