If sewage or contaminated water has entered your property, call RCC Restoration at 618.406.5121 for professional cleanup assistance.
Why Sewage Cleanup Requires Professionals
Sewage-contaminated water can affect flooring, drywall, furnishings, and other materials while creating conditions that should not be handled like an ordinary water loss. Professional sewage cleanup helps limit unnecessary exposure while addressing contaminated water and affected areas through appropriate removal, cleaning, sanitizing, and drying. Materials that cannot be adequately cleaned may also need to be removed as part of the restoration process. Because sewage can spread beyond the immediately visible area, evaluating the extent of contamination is important before determining the appropriate cleanup approach. Professional service also helps ensure that lingering moisture and odors are addressed as the property moves toward restoration.
Avoid unnecessary contact with sewage-contaminated areas and call RCC Restoration at 618.406.5121 for professional cleanup and sanitization.
Common Causes of Sewage Backups
Sewage backups can occur when wastewater cannot move properly through a plumbing or drainage system and instead enters a home or business. Problems may involve sewer backups, toilet overflows, drain failures, or flooding conditions that introduce contaminated water into the property. A backup may remain concentrated around a fixture or drain, or contaminated water may spread across flooring and into surrounding rooms and building materials. Determining where the sewage originated and how far it traveled helps establish the appropriate cleanup and restoration response. When sewage contamination occurs alongside broader flooding or water damage, related flood damage cleanup, water extraction, and drying services may also be needed.
When a sewage backup affects your property, reach out to RCC Restoration at 618.406.5121 to begin the cleanup process.
Health Risks of Sewage Exposure
Sewage and contaminated water may contain harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other hazardous contaminants that can create health risks for anyone exposed. Contact may lead to skin irritation, gastrointestinal illness, respiratory problems, or infection, particularly when contaminated water comes in contact with open wounds, the mouth, or eyes. Exposure can occur through contaminated water, surfaces, flooring, belongings, or materials that have absorbed sewage. Until the affected area has been professionally evaluated and cleaned, occupants should avoid direct contact whenever possible. Proper removal, sanitization, and decontamination help address contamination and prepare affected areas for drying and restoration.
If you are concerned about sewage exposure in your home or business, contact RCC Restoration at 618.406.5121 for professional assistance.
Our Sewage Cleanup & Sanitization Process
Professional sewage cleanup begins by evaluating the affected areas, source of the contaminated water, and extent of the damage. Once ongoing sewage intrusion has been addressed, RCC Restoration can remove contaminated water and begin cleaning affected areas. Materials and surfaces are evaluated to determine appropriate sanitization, drying, or removal needs, while moisture conditions are addressed as part of the restoration process. Because sewage may reach porous materials or concealed areas, cleanup must consider more than what is immediately visible. After contaminated materials and moisture have been addressed, additional water damage restoration or reconstruction may be required depending on the extent of damage to the property.
Start restoring your property after a sewage backup by calling RCC Restoration at 618.406.5121 for cleanup and sanitization service.
Decontamination & Odor Removal
Sewage backups can leave contamination and persistent odors behind even after visible wastewater has been removed. Effective cleanup therefore includes attention to affected surfaces and materials rather than relying on water removal alone. RCC Restoration provides sanitizing and deodorizing as part of sewage cleanup based on conditions within the property. Materials that have absorbed contaminated water may require additional evaluation to determine whether they can be appropriately cleaned or need to be removed. Drying is also important because remaining moisture can contribute to continued odors and other secondary problems. Combining decontamination, odor treatment, and drying helps prepare affected areas for the next stage of restoration.
For help addressing contamination and lingering odors after a sewage backup, call RCC Restoration at 618.406.5121.
Insurance Claims Assistance
Sewage damage can leave property owners coordinating cleanup and restoration while also determining whether an insurance policy applies to the loss. RCC Restoration provides insurance claim support and can help document affected areas and restoration-related work performed during the project. Because coverage depends on the individual policy and circumstances surrounding the sewage backup, homeowners and businesses should report the loss to their insurance carrier and speak directly with their insurer or adjuster about coverage, deductibles, and claim decisions. Restoration-related documentation can help create a clearer record of the conditions found and work performed as sewage cleanup, drying, sanitization, and any additional restoration move forward.
If your sewage cleanup involves an insurance claim, contact RCC Restoration at 618.406.5121 for support with the restoration process.

Professional sewage cleanup can address contaminated materials, sanitization, drying, deodorizing, and other restoration needs.

Because sewage may contain harmful bacteria and unsafe materials, unnecessary contact should be avoided. Professional cleanup helps address contaminated water, affected materials, sanitization, drying, and restoration needs.
