Why this is not a shop-vac job
Sewage exposure causes real illness, and the risk does not end when the water looks gone — contamination stays in carpet, drywall, and concrete pores. The protocol is strict for a reason: contain the area, extract, remove porous materials to a set margin beyond the visible line, clean and disinfect what remains, and verify before rebuild. Skipping steps leaves a biohazard sealed inside a finished wall.
What has to go, and what can stay
Carpet, underpad, upholstered furniture, particleboard, and drywall that contacted sewage are removed and disposed of through licensed channels — we document every item for your contents claim. Hard non-porous surfaces like concrete, metal, and solid wood can usually be cleaned, disinfected, and kept. We are honest about the line, in both directions.
The valve that prevents the sequel
Most sewage backups in the GTA happen when heavy rain overwhelms combined sewers and the flow reverses into basements. A backwater valve is a one-way gate on your sewer line that physically blocks that reversal — Toronto and most surrounding municipalities subsidize the installation. After cleanup, we connect you with licensed plumbers who do this work daily.
Insurance, straight
Sewer backup coverage is an optional rider in Ontario, and payout limits vary widely. If you have the coverage, we bill the insurer directly and document the loss to their standard. If you do not, we scope the work honestly, prioritize what protects your health, and give you a fixed written price before anything starts.
