Machias, ME's Sewage Cleanup Team, Full PPE Every Job

Blackwater contamination poses real health risk, unlike clean-water leaks, which is why it needs a different protocol.

Carpet, pad, and often drywall that touched sewage typically can't be saved due to contamination risk.

Our disinfection products meet EPA-registered standards for Category 3 water, not generic cleaner.

We don't close the file until air and surface checks pass.

Often yes, especially for sudden sewer backups, though coverage varies by policy — we can help document the loss for your claim.

We recommend calling right away rather than attempting any cleanup yourself given the biohazard involved.
