A sewage backup is a health emergency, not a mopping job. Killeen Restoration Co removes the waste, sanitizes the area and dries the structure with full protection — safely and to code, 24/7.
Restoration pros classify water into three categories. Sewage is Category 3 — "black water": grossly contaminated water that can contain bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Unlike a clean water leak, it can't just be dried out. Porous materials that absorbed it typically have to be removed, and every affected surface must be disinfected.
Isolate the area so contamination doesn't spread through the home.
Extract the sewage and remove porous materials that can't be sanitized.
Clean and apply professional disinfectant to sanitize every affected surface.
Dry the structure and dispose of contaminated waste to code.
Our crews work sewage losses in full protective equipment and follow proper containment and disposal procedures — because the risk isn't just the mess, it's the pathogens. Once the area is sanitized and dried, we also check for the mold that damp, contaminated materials can trigger.
Yes. Sewage is Category 3 "black water" carrying bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Keep people and pets away, avoid contact, and have it handled with proper protection and disinfection rather than a mop and bucket.
Keep everyone clear of the area, don't run water or flush toilets that drain to the affected line, turn off power to the area if it's safe, and avoid tracking contamination through the home. Then call us.
Porous materials that soaked up sewage — carpet, pad, and often the lower drywall — usually must be removed and replaced because they can't be reliably sanitized. Hard, non-porous surfaces can be cleaned and disinfected.
Common causes include clogged or collapsed sewer lines, tree-root intrusion, city main backups, and heavy storm runoff overwhelming the system during Central Texas downpours.
Yes. After removing waste and contaminated materials we clean and apply professional-grade disinfectant, then dry the structure so it's returned to a safe, sanitary condition.
