Why Sewage Is a Hazmat Job, Not a Mop Job

Raw sewage is Category 3 "black water" under IICRC classification — the most contaminated water loss there is. It carries bacteria, viruses, parasites, and sewer gases, and every porous material it touches — carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, upholstery — absorbs that contamination permanently.

What's in black water
E. coli & salmonella
Viruses & parasites
Toxic sewer gases
Permanent material damage

Don't walk through it, shop-vac it, or fan it dry. Each of those spreads pathogens through your home and your HVAC system.

H&H crews arrive in full personal protective equipment with dedicated extraction gear, remove the sewage and contaminated materials safely, and disinfect every affected surface with EPA-registered products. As Baltimore's water damage restoration specialists, we also handle what most cleanup-only outfits can't — verifying the structure is dry afterward and rebuilding whatever had to come out.

We've Seen It All

Sewage Emergencies We Respond To

Whatever caused the backup, our certified crews are equipped to contain, remove, and disinfect it safely.

Main Sewer Line Backups

Wastewater pushing up through basement floor drains — common in Baltimore's older combined-line neighborhoods after heavy rain.

Toilet & Drain Overflows

Overflows that reach flooring, walls, or the ceiling below.

Sump & Ejector Pump Failures

Pit and ejector pump failures in finished basements that let water rise fast.

Tree-Root & Collapsed Lines

Root intrusion and collapsed-line blockages that force repeated backups.

Commercial Sewage Releases

Restaurants, offices, and rental properties where sanitary documentation matters.

Our Process

What Our Sewage Removal Service Includes

A complete, safety-first cleanup — from emergency extraction to full rebuild and insurance documentation.

01

Emergency Extraction

Sewage and contaminated standing water removed fast to stop the spread.

02

Removal & Safe Disposal

Saturated carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and contents that can't be sanitized.

03

Cleaning & Disinfection

Floors, walls, and salvageable surfaces treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants.

04

Structural Drying & Verification

Moisture verified so bacteria and mold don't get a second chance.

05

Odor Neutralization

Treating the source — not masking it with fragrance.

06

Insurance Documentation

Photos and an itemized scope. Sewer-backup coverage is often a separate rider — we'll help you check.

07

Rebuild of Removed Materials

Restored through our in-house reconstruction team — no second contractor to find.

Common Questions

Sewage Cleanup FAQs

How much does sewage cleanup cost in Baltimore?
It depends on how much wastewater escaped, how far it spread, and how much material must be removed and rebuilt — a contained toilet overflow costs far less than a whole-basement main-line backup. You get a clear itemized estimate before work begins, and if you carry sewer-backup coverage we bill your carrier directly.
Is it safe to clean up a small sewage spill myself?
We don't recommend it. Even small spills carry the same pathogens as large ones, and household cleaners on porous materials don't disinfect them — they just hide the evidence. At minimum, keep people and pets away and call for guidance; telling you honestly that a spill is minor costs you nothing.
How fast can you get here, and what should I do meanwhile?
We answer 24/7/365 and dispatch immediately from Baltimore. While the crew is en route: stop using water and flushing toilets, keep everyone out of the area, shut off HVAC if it could draw air from the space, and don't attempt extraction with a household vacuum.
