Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Plymouth

A sewage backup or contaminated flood is a health hazard, not a mop-and-bucket job. We remove it safely, disinfect the area, and dry it out so it is safe to use again.

Why sewage needs specialist handling

Sewage and flood water are what the industry calls category 3, or black water. They carry bacteria and other contaminants that make ordinary cleaning unsafe. The right protective equipment, removal method and disinfection matter, both for the people in the building and to do the job properly.

Our process

Common causes

Blocked or collapsed drains, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, and flood water that has mixed with drainage. Whatever the source, we deal with it quickly to limit the damage and the health risk.

Insurance work welcome

Contaminated water damage is usually covered by buildings or contents insurance. We provide the clear reporting insurers expect and can deal with them directly.

Mould starts growing within 24 to 48 hours of a leak. The sooner drying starts, the less damage and the lower the cost.

Frequently asked questions

Is sewage water dangerous?

Yes. Sewage is category 3 water and carries bacteria and other hazards, so it should be handled with the right protection and disinfection, not cleaned up by hand.

How do you clean up after a sewage backup?

We remove the contaminated water and materials, clean and disinfect every affected surface, then dry the area so it is safe and free of odour.

Do you remove contaminated carpets and materials?

Where porous materials like carpet and plasterboard are contaminated by sewage, we remove and dispose of them safely, then restore the area.
