Main Sewer Line Blockages – Tree roots from Marietta’s mature oak and pine trees infiltrate sewer lines, causing blockages that force sewage back into homes. Older neighborhoods around the Marietta Square and Indian Hills are particularly vulnerable due to aging clay pipes and established root systems.
Municipal Sewer System Overflow -During heavy storms, Marietta’s municipal sewer systems can become overwhelmed, causing backups through floor drains and toilets in lower-level areas.
Clogged Drains and Toilet Lines – Improper disposal of grease, wipes, feminine products, and other non-flushable items creates blockages that cause sewage to back up into homes.
Broken or Collapsed Sewer Lines – Shifting soil, ground settling, and aging infrastructure cause sewer lines to crack, break, or collapse, resulting in backups and raw sewage contamination.
Septic System Failures – Properties in areas of Marietta not connected to municipal sewer systems rely on septic tanks. When these systems fail due to poor maintenance or capacity issues, sewage backs up into the property.
Sewage is classified as Category 3 “black water,” the most dangerous type of water contamination. It contains harmful substances that require immediate professional cleanup.
Biological Hazards:
Chemical Contaminants:
Direct contact, inhalation of airborne particles, or ingestion can cause serious illness. Children, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immune systems face elevated risks.
When you call 770-741-0183, we dispatch OSHA-certified technicians to your Marietta property within 60 minutes. Our team arrives equipped with proper PPE including hazmat suits, respirators, and protective gear.
We assess the contamination extent and establish containment barriers to prevent sewage from spreading to unaffected areas. Electricity is shut off in affected zones to eliminate shock hazards.
Using specialized equipment designed for contaminated water, we extract all standing sewage and solid waste. Our emergency water extraction equipment handles Category 3 contamination safely.
Porous materials including carpet, padding, drywall, insulation, and baseboards that contacted sewage, must be removed and properly disposed of. These materials cannot be salvaged and pose ongoing health risks.
All affected surfaces receive intensive cleaning with EPA-registered disinfectants specifically designed for sewage contamination. We clean multiple times to ensure complete sanitization.
Professional-grade antimicrobial treatments prevent bacterial growth and disease transmission. Specialized odor removal techniques eliminate the persistent sewage smell. Our odor removal services address even severe contamination odors.
After cleaning and disinfection, we deploy industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry all affected structures thoroughly. Our structural drying services prevent secondary damage and mold growth.
We perform final sanitization and can conduct air quality testing to verify your property is safe for occupancy. Our air quality testing confirms successful decontamination.
Basements throughout Marietta are highly vulnerable to sewage backups through floor drains and sump pump failures. Our basement flooding cleanup team handles contaminated basement situations with proper safety protocols.
Toilet overflows and drain backups in bathrooms require immediate attention due to confined spaces and high contamination risk.
Sewage backing up into crawl spaces creates hazardous conditions that often go unnoticed. Our crawl space mold remediation services include sewage contamination cleanup.
In multi-story homes in East Cobb and Chestnut Creek, sewage can affect multiple floors if backups occur in upper-level plumbing.
