A septic backup brings contaminated water into your home. We remove it safely, disinfect the area, treat the odor, and dry everything out.
A septic backup is one of the more hazardous things that can happen in a home. The water carries bacteria and soaks into porous materials, so it's not a job for a mop and a bucket.
We show up with the right gear and containment, remove what's contaminated, and disinfect thoroughly. Then we treat the odor at its source and dry the space completely, so nothing's left behind to grow or smell. We document it all for your insurance.

A septic backup is one of the more hazardous losses
When a septic system backs up into the home, the water is grossly contaminated. It carries bacteria and soaks into porous materials that usually can't be saved. This is not a job to handle without training and the right protective equipment. We contain the area, remove what's contaminated, and disinfect thoroughly, because safety comes first.
We remove, disinfect, and kill the odor at the source
Cleaning the surface isn't enough with a septic backup. The contamination works into materials, and the smell comes back if it's only masked. We remove the affected materials, disinfect every surface, and treat the odor where it lives, then dry the space completely so nothing's left to grow or smell.
We document it for your claim
Septic losses can be complicated on coverage. We photograph the damage, note the source, and write it up the way an adjuster needs, and we walk you through what we're seeing in plain language so you know where you stand.
How insurance usually works, and what it costs
Most sudden water losses, a burst pipe, a failed appliance, a backup, are covered under your homeowner's dwelling policy. In most cases you pay your deductible and insurance covers the rest, and we document the damage the way an adjuster needs so your claim holds up. We've been through the process plenty of times, and we'll tell you straight what we're seeing. For anything that isn't covered, we offer financing, so cost doesn't stop you from getting it handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a septic backup dangerous? +
Yes, it's a biohazard. The water carries bacteria and soaks into porous materials, so it needs proper protective gear and containment. Keep everyone away from the area until it's handled.
Can the affected materials be saved? +
Often not. Porous materials that soaked up contaminated water usually have to be removed rather than cleaned. We take out what can't be safely saved and disinfect what can.
Do you get rid of the smell? +
Yes. We treat the odor at its source rather than masking it, then dry the space completely, so it's actually gone.
