Common Questions About Our Services

We’ve answered thousands of questions over the years. Here are the ones we hear most often:

Is sewage backup dangerous to my health?

Yes, extremely dangerous. Sewage contains raw human waste, bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that cause serious illness – E. coli, hepatitis, salmonella. This is a biohazard requiring professional decontamination with hospital-grade disinfectants and proper safety equipment. Never attempt DIY sewage clean up. Our IICRC-certified technicians wear protective suits and respirators to safely remove contaminated materials and sanitize surfaces.

No, absolutely not. Sewage cleanup requires professional training, safety equipment, and specialized disinfectants you can’t buy at hardware stores. Without proper protective gear, you risk serious infection. Insurance companies and OH&S guidelines require professional decontamination. Materials contaminated by sewage must be safely removed and disposed of according to biohazard protocols. Call 1300 682 563 – this isn’t DIY.

Within 60 minutes, 24/7. There’s a callout fee (higher after hours), or send photos for free video assessment. Sewage backup requires immediate professional response. When you call, we’ll provide safety guidance – keep everyone away from contaminated areas, don’t touch anything, ventilate if possible. Our team arrives with full protective equipment to safely remove sewage and decontaminate.
No, materials contaminated by raw sewage are classified as non-salvageable by insurance and OH&S guidelines. Carpets, underlay, upholstered furniture, and porous materials must be removed and disposed of as biohazard waste. You cannot safely sanitize fabric that absorbed raw sewage. Hard surfaces like tile and concrete can be professionally decontaminated. Insurance typically covers replacement because it’s a health requirement.
Typically 5-7 days. We immediately extract sewage and remove contaminated materials, then perform intensive sanitization with hospital-grade disinfectants multiple times. Industrial dehumidifiers run continuously for 3-5 days. We perform final sanitization and odor treatment before reconstruction begins. Sewage cleanup takes longer because health protocols require multiple decontamination steps. We won’t finish until completely safe and bacteria-free.
Most home insurance covers sudden sewage backups from plumbing failures inside your property. Sewer line backups from municipal systems may require separate coverage – check your policy. We’re preferred partners with all major insurers (AAMI, RACV, NRMA, QBE, SunCorp) and document everything thoroughly. Insurance understands sewage-contaminated materials must be replaced for health, so costs are typically covered.
Blocked sewer lines (tree roots, foreign objects, collapsed pipes), main sewer line failures, septic system overflows, heavy rainfall overwhelming municipal systems, and toilet blockages causing reverse flow. Sometimes sewage backs up through basement floor drains. Older homes with aging clay pipes are more vulnerable. When sewage enters your home, immediate professional cleanup is critical regardless of cause. If it happens, turn off your water main straight away if black water is still coming in, and move furniture or belongings out of the affected area if it’s safe to do so. Don’t wait — sewage spreads quickly to skirting boards and door jambs, and the longer it sits, the more materials need replacing.
