Materials that have been in contact with Category 3 water (carpet, drywall, insulation, wood flooring) are generally not salvageable and must be removed and disposed of safely. Our technicians work in full PPE — Tyvek suits, respirators, gloves, and eye protection — and follow IICRC S500 protocols for Category 3 water events. --- ## Our Sewage Cleanup Process **Step 1 — Containment** We establish containment barriers to prevent sewage-contaminated water from spreading to unaffected areas. Negative air pressure keeps airborne pathogens from migrating. **Step 2 — Extraction** All standing sewage water is extracted using equipment dedicated to Category 3 events — not the same equipment used for clean water jobs. **Step 3 — Removal of Contaminated Materials** Carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and other porous materials in contact with sewage are removed and disposed of per local regulations. We document everything for insurance purposes. **Step 4 — Decontamination** All affected surfaces are treated with EPA-registered disinfectants and antimicrobial agents. Multiple applications, with dwell time, to ensure full decontamination. **Step 5 — Structural Drying** After decontamination, we deploy industrial drying equipment to bring moisture levels back to normal. In Midland TX's dry climate, this typically takes 2–4 days. **Step 6 — Reconstruction** New drywall, flooring, insulation, and paint — we handle the full rebuild so you're not managing a second contractor. --- ## Sewage Cleanup & Insurance Sewage backup coverage varies by policy.
