Sewage Cleanup Assessment

Keep everyone away from the affected area. We handle it safely, 24/7.

A sewer backup is more than a mess. Sewage is a Category 3 biohazard carrying bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can make your family sick. It also soaks into drywall, flooring, and framing, where contamination lingers long after the water is gone. Malwa Drymasters responds 24/7 with trained crews in full PPE who extract the sewage, remove contaminated materials, sanitize every affected surface, and dry the structure to verified moisture levels. We document everything for your insurance claim and never cut corners on safety.

What we do

Safe extraction

Crews in full PPE extract sewage with pumps and wet vacuums, keeping contaminated water from spreading to clean areas.

Contaminated material removal

Drywall, insulation, carpet, and padding that cannot be sanitized are removed and disposed of as biohazard waste.

Sanitization

Every affected surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered disinfectants that kill bacteria and viruses.

Structural drying

Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers dry framing and subfloors to verified moisture levels, preventing mold.

Odor control

Deodorization treatments eliminate sewage odors from the air and from porous surfaces.

Insurance documentation

Photos, disposal records, and sanitization logs give your adjuster everything needed to process the claim.

Why sewage is a biohazard, not just dirty water

Restoration professionals classify water by contamination level. Sewage is Category 3, the most dangerous:

  1. It carries disease. Raw sewage contains bacteria like E. coli and salmonella, plus viruses and parasites that survive on surfaces for days.
  2. It soaks into porous materials. Drywall, wood, and carpet absorb contamination that surface cleaning cannot fully remove.
  3. It spreads through the house. Foot traffic and HVAC airflow carry contaminants to rooms the water never touched.
  4. It grows mold fast. The moisture and organic matter in sewage make it a perfect breeding ground within 48 hours.

That is why we keep people out of the affected area and why trained crews in PPE handle the cleanup, not a mop and bucket.

Sewage Cleanup FAQs

Is sewage cleanup covered by home insurance?add
Sewer backup coverage is an add-on on most Edmonton policies, but it is widely available and commonly held. We document the cleanup and sanitization so your adjuster can process the claim.
Can I clean up sewage myself?add
No. Sewage is a Category 3 biohazard containing bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Cleaning it without proper PPE and sanitization puts your family at risk and can leave contamination behind.
How long does sewage cleanup take?add
Extraction and sanitization are usually done the same day. Drying affected areas takes 3 to 5 days depending on how much material was soaked. We monitor moisture daily until readings return to normal.
