Sewage Cleanup

Hazardous Waste & Sewage Restoration Services

Sewage backups are a serious health hazard. Our certified biohazard cleanup team provides safe extraction, complete sanitization, and restoration — all in compliance with local health regulations.

Sewage backups and overflows are classified as Category 3 (black water) events — the most hazardous type of water damage. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other pathogens that pose serious health risks to anyone in the affected area. Rescue Solutions Services responds immediately with certified biohazard cleanup crews.

Our sewage cleanup process follows strict IICRC S500 standards: we establish safety zones, extract all contaminated water and waste, remove affected porous materials (carpet, padding, drywall), apply EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments, and thoroughly dry and deodorize the entire area before any reconstruction begins.

South Bay San Diego’s aging sewer infrastructure means sewage backups are more common than most homeowners expect. Whether the cause is a main line blockage, root intrusion, or city sewer overflow, we handle the complete cleanup and restoration — and bill your insurance company directly.
