Who It's For
Sewage cleanup is the certified removal, disinfection, and restoration of a property contaminated by wastewater. It covers extraction of standing sewage, disposal of unsalvageable materials, antimicrobial treatment of every affected surface, and complete structural drying. Mr. Damage Rescue performs sewage cleanup under IICRC biohazard protocols, not standard water removal methods.
You need it whenever wastewater enters a living or working space. That includes toilet overflows, main sewer line backups pushing through floor drains, septic tank failures, and storm surcharges forcing sewage upward through basement plumbing. Any water containing waste is classified as Category 3 black water and demands professional handling.
Sewage carries bacteria, viruses, and parasites that survive on surfaces long after the water is gone. Left untreated, contamination soaks into drywall, subfloor, and framing, then feeds mold growth within days. What starts as a plumbing failure becomes a structural and respiratory hazard that spreads well beyond the original room.
Our Services
Most people know something is wrong before they know what it means.
Not sure which phases your situation needs? We assess first and recommend only what is necessary — no upsells.
Sewage does not stay where it lands. It wicks upward into drywall and outward under flooring, and mold can begin forming within 24 to 48 hours. Call as soon as you see it.
Our Services
Sewage cleanup is a multi-stage process, and every stage matters to the final result.

Why Homeowners Choose Us
Licensed and IICRC-certified since 2001 — one crew, start to finish for Riverside-area homeowners.
A live technician answers every call, day or night. Crews are dispatched immediately because contamination spreads by the hour, not by the business day.
Our team is trained to S500 and S520 standards with OSHA pathogen protocols. Certification governs every decision about what gets saved and what gets removed.
We verify moisture levels and surface conditions before closing the job. If verification fails anywhere, we return and re-treat at no additional cost.
Plastic barriers, negative air pressure, and a dedicated exit path keep contamination inside the work zone. The rest of your property stays clean throughout.
How It Works
Call 951-458-6466 and describe what you’re seeing. We dispatch immediately and give you safety instructions to follow until crews arrive.
We inspect affected areas, map moisture with meters, and provide written pricing. Nothing proceeds until you approve the scope and cost.
We seal the work zone, extract contaminated water, remove unsalvageable materials, and apply antimicrobial treatment to every affected surface systematically.
Drying equipment runs until moisture readings hit target. We then verify sanitization, neutralize odor, and document the completed work.
Pricing
We price sewage cleanup upfront and in writing before any work begins. You will never receive an invoice larger than the scope you approved.
Cost depends on four things: the volume of contaminated water, the square footage affected, how much porous material must be removed and disposed of, and how many days of drying equipment the structure requires.
Typical ranges: a contained toilet overflow affecting one room generally runs $1,200–$3,500. A basement or multi-room sewage backup requiring material removal and extended drying typically runs $4,000–$12,000.
Most sewage losses are at least partially covered by property insurance. We document everything and provide the reporting your adjuster needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Often yes, particularly with a sewer backup endorsement on your policy. Coverage varies, so we document thoroughly to support your claim.
Porous materials that absorbed sewage — carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and particleboard. Hard, non-porous surfaces can usually be disinfected and saved.
Extraction and disinfection typically finish within one day. Structural drying usually adds three to five days depending on saturation levels.
We strongly advise against it. Sewage carries pathogens requiring protective equipment, containment, and EPA-registered antimicrobials to remove safely.
After disinfection is complete and moisture verification passes. We tell you specifically which areas are cleared and when.
Yes. Our insurance claim assistance the moisture readings, photo documentation, and itemized scope adjusters require, so your claim moves without repeated requests for information.
