A sewage or drain backup is the water emergency you should never clean up yourself. It is Category 3 black water, carrying bacteria and waste, and in the more rural parts of south Fulton and Coweta a septic-adjacent backup adds to the risk. It has to be contained, removed, and disinfected with the right protective gear.
Why sewage is treated as Category 3
Black water is a health hazard, not just a mess, and treating it casually is how people get sick.
- It carries bacteria, waste, and contaminants
- Porous materials it touches usually cannot be saved
- It requires containment so it does not spread through the home
- Cleanup needs protective gear and proper disposal
The CDC guidance explains why sewage backups are a health hazard that needs careful handling.
How our crews handle sewage cleanup
We work the job safely and in the right order: contain, remove, disinfect, then dry.
- Contain the affected area to stop the spread
- Remove and dispose of the sewage and unsalvageable materials
- Disinfect the structure and the contents that can be saved
- Dry with air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified reading

Call (404) 585-8987Disinfecting and deodorizing after a backup
Getting rid of the smell and the contamination completely is what makes the home safe again.
- Antimicrobial treatment of the affected structure
- Deodorizing so the smell does not linger
- Full structural drying to a verified dry standard
General flood recovery guidance agrees that contaminated water needs disinfection and full drying.
Do not touch a sewage backup
Black water carries bacteria and waste that can make you sick. Keep people and pets out of the area, do not try to clean it yourself, and let our crew handle it with the right containment and protective gear.
A drain backed up into the lower level and it was the kind of water you do not touch. They contained it, hauled out what was ruined, disinfected, and cleared the smell completely. Professional the whole way.
