Sewage Backup Cleanup in Lubbock, TX

A sewage backup is the one water loss you should never mop yourself. Backed-up drains and septic overflows carry bacteria and viruses, soak into everything porous they touch, and punish delay — the contaminated area grows, and so does the list of materials that cannot be saved.

Our crews work it as a hazardous cleanup: protective equipment on, area contained, waste and standing water extracted and disposed of properly, and porous materials — carpet, pad, affected drywall — removed rather than “cleaned.” Hard surfaces are washed, disinfected and then dried like any other structural drying job, with readings until standard is met. Signs it is sewage and not a clean-water leak: drain or toilet backflow, foul odor with the water, or dark water rising from the lowest fixtures in the home.

Until the crew arrives: keep people and pets out of the area, do not run other drains or flush, ventilate if you can do it without walking through the water, and call. The area is only handed back when it is cleaned, disinfected and dry — verified, not assumed.
