A sewer or drain backup is not a normal water loss. It is Category 3 black water, which carries bacteria and pathogens, so it has to be removed with the right protective gear, disinfected, and disposed of safely, not just dried in place. In Arlington a main-line backup, a heavy storm overwhelming the system, or a failed cleanout can push contaminated water into a home fast. Our restoration crews are trained and equipped for exactly this.
Why sewage is treated differently
Black water changes how every step is handled:
- It carries bacteria and pathogens, so it is a genuine health hazard
- Porous materials it soaked, like carpet, pad, and drywall, usually have to be removed
- Everything it touched has to be cleaned and disinfected, not just dried
- The area has to be deodorized once it is clean and dry
A storm that pushes a sewer backup often comes with storm flooding too, and once the contaminated material is out the structure still needs full structural drying. Our team handles the whole job start to finish.
Our sewage cleanup response
Safety leads every black-water job:
- Contain the area and set up the right protective gear and controls
- Extract the black water and remove soaked porous materials for disposal
- Clean and disinfect every surface the contamination reached
- Dry the structure to a verified reading and deodorize before it is closed up
Sewage backing up into your home? Do not touch it. Stay clear and call, and an Arlington crew is on the way, 30 to 60 minutes out.
Call (817) 241-4264Stay out of black water
Do not walk through or try to clean up sewage yourself, and keep children and pets well clear. The CDC flood and cleanup pages explain the health risks of contaminated water and why protective gear matters, and the Environmental Protection Agency covers safe cleanup and moisture control after the contamination is removed.
Category 3 means remove, do not dry
Unlike a clean-water loss, contaminated porous materials that soaked up black water are removed rather than dried, because they cannot be safely restored. That is the difference that protects your family after a backup.

FAQ
Sewage cleanup questions, answered in Arlington
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. An Arlington restoration team is standing by 24/7.
(817) 241-4264 Call nowIs sewage backup dangerous?
Yes. Sewage is Category 3 black water and carries bacteria and pathogens, so it is a real health hazard. Stay out of it, keep children and pets away, and let our trained crews handle it with the right protective gear and disinfecting.
Can I clean up sewage myself?
We strongly advise against it. Contaminated water needs protective equipment, proper disinfecting, and safe disposal of soaked materials. Doing it without the right gear risks your health and often leaves contamination behind.
Is sewage cleanup covered by insurance?
Sewer and drain backup is often covered only if you carry a specific backup rider on your Texas homeowners policy, so coverage varies. We document the loss carefully and help you understand what your policy covers before we bill.
What has to be thrown away?
Porous materials that soaked up black water, like carpet, pad, and often the lower drywall, usually have to be removed because they cannot be safely disinfected. Hard, non-porous surfaces are cleaned, disinfected, and kept.
Will the smell go away?
Yes. After the contamination is removed and the structure is cleaned and dried, we deodorize the area so the odor is gone rather than masked.
