On average, the cost of sewage cleanup services ranges between $7 to $14 per square foot.

Promptly contacting Soria Contracting & Solutions accelerates our response for immediate sewage cleanup services, effectively minimizing both the overall damage and the project cost.

It is imperative to understand that attempting to manage a raw sewage spill on one's own is strongly discouraged. The toxicity level of sewage, teeming with bacteria, viruses, parasites, and harmful gases, presents severe health threats; this condition is categorized as "black water" or Category 3 water damage. If confronted with a sewage backup, the safest course of action is to reach out to Soria Contracting & Solutions. Our expertise in sewage cleanup stands unrivaled, following a meticulous process that includes:

1. Initial Assessment and Safety Measures:  Our professionals commence with an exhaustive evaluation of the sewage spill, pinpointing the affected materials and surfaces while prioritizing safety through professional PPE gear and area isolation to thwart further contamination.
2. Removal of Sewage and Contaminated Materials:  Utilizing industrial-grade equipment, we meticulously extract standing sewage and liquids. Contaminated porous materials, such as carpeting, upholstery, and drywall, are removed and disposed of in compliance with hazardous waste regulations.
3. Cleaning and Sanitizing: The cleanup phase employs powerful cleaners to eradicate residual dirt and organic matter, followed by the application of high-grade disinfectants to eliminate pathogens and bacteria, rendering the area safe for reoccupation.
4. Drying and Dehumidifying: Advanced air movers, dehumidifiers, and air scrubbers are deployed to extract moisture from the contaminated area, ensuring the environment is thoroughly dried and the air purified.
5. Restoration and Final Inspection: We undertake necessary repairs or reconstruction efforts, including the replacement of compromised drywall, flooring, and other structural components, culminating in a final, detailed inspection to ensure the integrity and safety of the property.

Educating property owners on the common causes of sewage backup is essential for prevention and preparedness. The typical culprits include:

1. Blockages in Sewer Lines:  Accumulation of debris, grease, or foreign objects within the pipes often leads to obstructions, resulting in backflow into toilets, bathtubs, and sinks.
2. Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots, in search of moisture, can penetrate sewer lines through small openings, eventually growing sufficiently to block the conduit.
3. Aging Infrastructure:  The wear and tear on older sewer systems and septic tanks may result in deterioration, cracks, or collapses that provoke backups.
4. Heavy Rainfall and Flooding: Excessive water during storms or floods can overwhelm sewer systems, causing backups into residential or commercial properties.
5. Structural Damage: Physical damage to sewer lines from settlement, earthquakes, or other forces can lead to backups.
6. Inadequate Septic System Maintenance: Neglecting regular maintenance or failing to pump septic tanks can lead to backups in homes and yards.
