We at Flood Guys Restoration have been protecting Washington Park families from sewage damage emergencies for years. As a local, family-owned company, we understand how quickly sewage problems can turn your life upside down.
We’ve seen firsthand how Washington Park’s aging infrastructure and severe storms create the perfect conditions for sewer backups and overflows. That’s why we maintain 24/7 emergency response capabilities specifically for our community.
When your neighbors face sewage emergencies, they call us because they know we’ll arrive equipped with professional-grade supplies and the experience to handle any situation safely and completely.
First, our certified technicians assess the extent of contamination and create containment barriers to prevent spread. Safety comes first—we wear full protective gear and ensure your family stays clear of affected areas.
Next, we extract all contaminated water and remove damaged materials using specialized equipment designed for biohazard cleanup. Every surface that came in contact with sewage gets thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with hospital-grade solutions.
Finally, we dry the affected areas completely using industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, then conduct a final inspection to ensure your property meets safety standards. You’ll receive documentation for insurance purposes and peace of mind that the job was done right.

Your sewage cleanup service includes immediate emergency response, complete water extraction, safe removal of contaminated materials, and comprehensive disinfection of all affected surfaces. We handle everything from initial assessment to final restoration.
Washington Park’s older homes often experience sewage backups due to aging sewer lines and heavy rainfall that overwhelms the local drainage system. Our team understands these local challenges and comes prepared with the right equipment and expertise.
We also coordinate directly with your insurance company, providing detailed documentation and working within your policy guidelines. Most homeowners are surprised to learn their cleanup costs are often covered when proper procedures are followed.
Sewage water contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that can cause serious illness if you come in contact with it. The contaminated water can spread E. coli, hepatitis, and other dangerous diseases through direct contact, inhalation, or accidental ingestion.
This is why professional cleanup is essential—we have the protective equipment, training, and disinfection methods needed to eliminate health risks completely. Never attempt to clean sewage damage yourself, as exposure can lead to gastrointestinal problems, respiratory issues, and skin infections.
The longer sewage water remains in your home, the greater the health risks become as bacteria multiply and spread throughout porous materials like drywall and flooring.
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the sewage backup. Many homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental sewage damage, such as from burst pipes or sewer line failures, but may exclude damage from neglect or gradual leaks.
We work directly with insurance companies and help document the damage properly to support your claim. Our team knows exactly what information adjusters need and can provide detailed reports and photos that strengthen your case.
It’s important to contact both your insurance company and a professional cleanup service immediately after discovering sewage damage. Quick action not only protects your health but also demonstrates to your insurer that you took appropriate steps to minimize the loss.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive at Washington Park properties within 1-2 hours of your call. Sewage emergencies can’t wait, and every minute of delay increases health risks and property damage.
Our rapid response time is possible because we maintain local crews and equipment specifically for the Washington Park area. We understand that sewage damage gets worse quickly, with mold growth beginning within 24-48 hours and bacteria spreading throughout your property.
When you call, you’ll speak directly with our emergency dispatch team who will immediately send certified technicians to your location. We arrive fully equipped with containment materials, extraction equipment, and disinfection supplies to begin cleanup immediately.
Stay out of the affected area completely and keep children and pets away from any contaminated water or surfaces. Turn off electricity to the affected area if you can do so safely, but never enter standing water where electrical outlets or appliances may be submerged.
If possible, take photos or videos of the damage for insurance documentation, but only if you can do so without entering contaminated areas. Open windows and doors to improve ventilation, which helps reduce harmful odors and bacteria in the air.
Do not attempt any cleanup yourself, including mopping or removing water. Sewage contains dangerous pathogens that require specialized equipment and disinfection procedures to handle safely. Wait for our certified technicians who have the proper protective gear and training.
Most residential sewage cleanup projects in Washington Park take 2-5 days to complete, depending on the extent of contamination and the size of the affected area. Emergency water extraction and initial disinfection typically happen within the first 24 hours.
The drying process usually takes 2-3 additional days using industrial dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels continuously to ensure complete drying, which prevents mold growth and structural damage.
Restoration work, such as replacing drywall or flooring, may add several more days to the timeline. However, we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine and keep you informed throughout the entire process so you know exactly what to expect.
Improperly cleaned sewage damage can definitely cause ongoing health issues, which is why professional cleanup is so important. Residual bacteria and pathogens can continue growing in hidden areas, leading to respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and repeated infections.
Mold growth is another serious concern that develops within 24-48 hours of sewage exposure. These mold spores can trigger asthma, cause chronic respiratory issues, and create ongoing indoor air quality problems that affect your family’s health for months or years.
Professional sewage cleanup eliminates these long-term risks by completely removing contaminated materials, thoroughly disinfecting all surfaces, and ensuring proper drying to prevent mold growth. Our certified process gives you confidence that your home is truly safe for your family.
