We treat every sewage call in Houston, MN as a biohazard situation from the first minute, because that's exactly what it is. This is one water damage situation where calling a trained crew immediately matters more than trying to handle it yourself.
Containment goes up immediately to keep contaminated water from spreading to unaffected areas of the property.

We follow strict biohazard protocol on every Sewage Cleanup call, treating even a small backup with full precaution.
Sanitization on every Sewage Cleanup job meets the EPA-registered standard for Category 3 water.
We document disposal of contaminated materials to keep the process compliant and traceable.
Containment barriers go up before cleanup starts, keeping contaminated water isolated from living spaces.
Sewage cleanup follows a strict sequence built around safety, and here's how our Houston, MN crews handle it.

Contaminated water is extracted using equipment dedicated to blackwater jobs, kept separate from clean-water equipment.
Every technician on-site wears full protective gear rated for blackwater exposure.
Porous materials — carpet, drywall, insulation — that contacted sewage are removed and disposed of per regulatory guidelines.
We apply compliant disinfection products across the full affected area.
Air scrubbers and odor-neutralizing treatment address both smell and airborne pathogen concerns.
Final verification checks confirm the biohazard has been fully addressed.
We ask enough to confirm this is a sewage-related call and prepare accordingly.
Containment barriers and PPE are standard equipment for every dispatch.
You'll know the scope and cost once contamination levels are confirmed.
The file doesn't close until pathogen and odor control are confirmed complete.
