Sewage is Category 3 water — handle it with care
Sewage backups come from failed floor drains, overloaded municipal lines, and clogged mains — problems that show up often in older Metro Detroit homes, especially after heavy rain. This is Category 3 (“black”) water, which carries bacteria and other contaminants. It should never be cleaned up with a household mop and bucket, and porous materials it touches usually can’t be saved.
Dry Pros follows IICRC procedures for contaminated water. We contain the affected area to stop cross-contamination, extract the sewage, remove and dispose of unsalvageable materials, then clean, disinfect, and dry the space so it’s safe to occupy again. Our technicians use proper protective equipment and document each step for your insurer.
What is included:
- Containment to prevent cross-contamination
- Safe extraction of contaminated water and solids
- Removal and disposal of unsalvageable porous materials
- Cleaning and antimicrobial disinfection of affected surfaces
- Deodorization to remove lingering sewage odor
- Structural drying and moisture verification
Standing water in a basement before extraction and drying.

Sewage Damage Cleanup FAQ
Is sewage cleanup covered by insurance?
Many policies cover sudden sewer backups, sometimes through a specific backup endorsement. Dry Pros bills your insurance directly and manages the whole claim, so most homeowners just pay their deductible. We document the contamination and scope so your adjuster has what they need.
How quickly should sewage be cleaned up?
Immediately. Contaminated water is a health risk and gets worse the longer it sits. We answer 24/7 and are typically on-site within about two hours across Macomb and Oakland County so the area can be contained and disinfected fast.
Is it safe to stay in my home during cleanup?
Keep people and pets away from the affected area until it’s cleaned and disinfected. Our crews use containment and protective equipment to keep the contamination isolated, and we’ll tell you which spaces are safe to use while the work is underway.
