Sewage removal requires certified professionals — it is hazardous Category 3 black water full of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Affordable Water Restoration provides safe sewage removal in Fort Myers, FL with full sanitation and reconstruction, 24/7, and a 30-minute response.
Why Sewage Is Dangerous
Sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illness through direct contact or inhalation of aerosols. It is never safe to clean sewage yourself with a mop and bleach — porous materials that absorb it must be removed, and all remaining surfaces must be professionally disinfected. Our certified crews use PPE, containment, and EPA-registered disinfectants following IICRC S500 standards.
Our Sewage Removal Process
• Containment of the contaminated area to prevent spread
• Extraction of sewage water with industrial equipment
• EPA-registered disinfection of all remaining surfaces
• Structural drying and deodorization
• Reconstruction of removed materials
Common Causes of Sewage Backups
• Clogged or collapsed sewer lines
• Tree root intrusion into pipes
• Heavy rainfall overwhelming city sewers
• Flushable wipes, grease, and debris buildup
• Main line backup or municipal failure
Do Not Wait — Sewage Spreads Fast
Sewage spreads contaminants quickly into flooring, walls, and the air, and the longer it sits the worse the damage and health risk. Avoid all contact, keep children and pets away, and call immediately for 24/7 emergency sewage removal in Fort Myers.
What to Do During a Sewage Backup
• Evacuate the affected area and keep everyone away
• Turn off electricity to the affected area if safe
• Do not run water or flush toilets — it can worsen the backup
• Do not attempt to clean it yourself
