A sewage backup can leave contaminated water in your Bloomington home or business. We remove wastewater, clean affected surfaces, and help dry the building.
Sewage can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Keep people and pets out, avoid the water, and don't run fans that could spread contaminated droplets.
Our team offers Quick 1-Hr Local Response in Bloomington, Minnesota. Certified IICRC Techs assess the damage and explain the next safe steps.
Sewer Backup and Sewage Removal for Bloomington Properties
Sewage cleanup starts with safety and controlled removal. We locate affected areas, limit cross-contamination, and remove standing wastewater with proper equipment.
Porous materials often absorb contaminated water. Drywall, insulation, carpet, padding, and some flooring may need removal instead of cleaning.
We clean and disinfect hard surfaces after removing wastewater. We also address sewage odors and check nearby rooms for hidden spread.
A floor drain, toilet, sewer line, or failed pump can cause the backup. A plumber may need to repair the source before restoration work is complete.
Who We Help
If contamination reached several rooms, shared walls, or lower levels, our technicians plan removal and drying in controlled stages.
What to Expect From Our Sewage Removal and Cleanup Process
Our Certified IICRC Techs follow restoration practices for contaminated water. They use protective equipment and separate clean areas from affected areas.
You receive a clear view of what was affected, what must be removed, and what can be cleaned. We don't promise to save materials that absorbed sewage.
We document conditions during the work. Moisture readings help show whether walls, floors, and subfloors are drying.
- Set Up Protection: Our technicians place protective barriers and wear personal protective equipment. They remove standing wastewater before deeper moisture checks begin.
- Remove and Clean: Damaged porous materials are removed, and salvageable surfaces are cleaned. Disinfection follows after visible contamination is gone.
- Dry and Check: We dry the structure and check moisture levels. Equipment stays in place until readings show the building is dry enough.
What Our Customers Say
“Our upstairs bathroom line let go around two in the morning and water was coming through the kitchen ceiling. I called expecting to leave a voicemail and someone actually picked up. The crew was at the house in under an hour with fans and a pump. They walked me through what they were doing instead of just working around me, and by the third day everything read dry.”

Commercial Sewage and Wastewater Cleanup
Sewage damage can disrupt customer areas, staff spaces, and shared building systems. We plan access around clean areas that need to stay open.
For offices, healthcare properties, schools, and multifamily buildings, controlled entry matters. Our crew separates work zones and coordinates removal, cleaning, and drying around occupancy needs.
Estimated Sewage Cleanup Pricing
These ranges are a starting point. Price changes with the size of the loss, what got damaged, and the work needed to clean or dry it.
- Small project: $1,000–$3,500+
- Moderate project: $5,000–$10,500
- Large project: $10,500+
These are estimates, not quotes. We need to see the damage before we can give you a full price. An onsite inspection shows us the size of the loss and what needs to be cleaned, removed, or dried.
Working With Insurance
Take photos from a safe distance and keep records of damage, removed materials, and restoration work. We can provide documentation for your insurance claim, but your insurer decides coverage.
We often work with insurers such as Allstate, Farmers Insurance, and Liberty Mutual.
We can document the damage and the work we do. We can’t decide what your policy covers. Ask your carrier or adjuster about coverage.

Sewage and Sewer Backup Cleanup FAQs
What should I do first after a sewage backup?
Keep people and pets away from the area. Avoid contact with the water, don't run fans, and stop using nearby plumbing until the source is checked.
Can I clean sewage with household products?
No, household products aren't enough for contaminated water. Sewage can spread germs and contaminate porous materials, hidden spaces, and tools.
Will carpet and drywall need removal?
Carpet, padding, drywall, and insulation often need removal after sewage exposure. Our technicians inspect each material before deciding what can remain.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
There isn't a set timeline because the affected area, materials, and drying progress vary. Removal may finish quickly, but structural drying takes longer.
Do I need a plumber before restoration begins?
A plumber should repair the failed sewer line, drain, toilet, or pump. We can begin safety steps and removal while the source repair is coordinated.
Can sewage damage spread beyond the visible area?
Yes, contaminated water can move under flooring, into walls, and through floor drains. We check nearby materials instead of treating only visible water.
