A drain backed up into our downstairs bath and it was awful. Their crew showed up in gear, contained it, hauled out what could not be saved, disinfected, and got rid of the smell. I would not have known where to start.

A sewage or drain backup is the one water loss you should never clean up yourself. It is Category 3 black water, and it carries bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants that make people sick. In Forney a backup can come from a blocked or overloaded main line, a heavy rain that surcharges the sewer, or a failed septic system in the rural county. Our restoration team handles it in full protective gear with the right disinfection.
Why black water is different
Black water is not just dirty water, it is a health hazard that has to be handled by protocol:
- It carries bacteria and viruses that require protective gear
- Porous materials it touches usually cannot be saved
- It needs disinfection, not just extraction and drying
- Lingering odor means contamination that has to be treated at the source
Storm and creek flooding is also Category 3, and we handle that as storm and flash flood water damage. A sewer or drain backup inside the home gets this focused, contained cleanup.
Our sewage cleanup process
Safety and disinfection drive every step, in order:
- Contain the area and set up protective barriers
- Extract the black water and remove contaminated porous materials
- Clean and disinfect all surfaces with antimicrobial treatment
- Deodorize and dry to a verified standard so nothing is left behind
We dispose of contaminated materials the right way and document the loss for your claim.
Sewage or a drain backup in your home? Keep everyone clear and call, a crew arrives in gear in 30 to 45 minutes.
Call (972) 299-3794Stay safe until we arrive
Keep people and pets out of the affected area, do not run water that drains into the backup, and do not touch it. The CDC explains the health risks of sewage and floodwater on its flood cleanup safety pages, and our work follows the standards of the IICRC.
Do not try to mop up a sewage backup
Category 3 black water is a health hazard, and mopping spreads it and exposes you to bacteria. Keep everyone clear and let a crew in protective gear contain, remove, and disinfect it properly.

FAQ
Sewage cleanup questions, answered in Forney
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Forney restoration team is standing by 24/7.
(972) 299-3794 Call nowCan I clean up sewage myself?
No. Sewage is Category 3 black water that carries bacteria and viruses and can make you seriously ill. It needs protective gear, containment, disinfection, and proper disposal, which is why it is worth calling a trained crew every time.
Is a sewage backup covered by insurance?
Sewer and drain backup is often covered only by a separate rider or endorsement on a Texas homeowners policy, not the base policy. We document the loss carefully and work with your carrier, and it is worth checking whether you carry the backup coverage.
What has to be thrown away after a sewage backup?
Porous materials that absorbed the black water, like carpet, pad, and often drywall and insulation, usually have to be removed and disposed of. Hard, non-porous surfaces can be cleaned, disinfected, and saved.
How do you get rid of the smell?
The odor comes from contamination, so we remove the source, disinfect every surface with an antimicrobial, and deodorize, then dry to a verified standard. Masking the smell without removing the source only hides the problem.
How fast can you respond to a sewage emergency?
We answer 24/7 and reach most of Forney and Kaufman County in 30 to 45 minutes with a crew and the right protective gear. Black water gets worse the longer it sits, so fast containment matters.
