Sewage Backup Is a Health Concern — Act Quickly
Sewage water — classified as Category 3 or “black water” — can contain bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. In Seattle's basements, crawlspaces, and older plumbing systems, contamination can spread through porous materials, HVAC, and shared walls.
Professional containment, proper PPE, and appropriate cleaning help restore your property safely. If clean water is also involved, see our water damage restoration, emergency water removal, and flood cleanup services.
Overflowing toilet? See toilet overflow cleanup. Sewage or water under the house? See crawlspace water damage.

“Best water damage restoration company! They saved our home. We had a sudden flood in our house and called for emergency water damage repair. The team arrived fast, handled the water extraction, removed the damaged drywall, and set up professional drying equipment. Thanks to their quick flood cleanup and structural drying, we avoided mold and further damage. Friendly, honest, and very professional. Highly recommend them for water damage restoration and emergency water removal. Thank you! ❤️”

“With two toddlers at home, the last thing I expected was our fire sprinkler going off and flooding our Ballard condo. It was honestly overwhelming, but the team showed up really quickly and jumped right in. They were super respectful of our space, helped protect our furniture and kids' things, and kept everything as organized as possible while setting up drying equipment. They checked in daily and explained what they were doing in a way that actually made sense, which I appreciated. They also helped walk us through the insurance process, which was a huge relief since I had no idea where to start. Overall, they made a really stressful situation much more manageable. Would definitely recommend”
