Sewage Cleanup — Los Angeles, CA
We've been the after-hours number for Los Angeles-area homeowners and a few local property managers since 2019. Calls go to a real person. Service area covers Los Angeles proper plus the metro suburbs. After-hours is real after-hours, not "we'll get back to you tomorrow."
What this service includes
Sewage cleanup is regulated as Category 3 (black water) work under IICRC S500. That means biohazard PPE — Tyvek suits, respirators, full eye protection — for the crew, plus containment-zone protocol around the affected area.
Porous materials in direct contact with sewage cannot be effectively decontaminated. Carpet, padding, drywall to 12 inches above the line, baseboards, and unfinished wood typically require removal and disposal as biohazard waste.
Hard surfaces are sanitized with EPA-registered antimicrobials. Air scrubbers with HEPA and activated-carbon filters run during the work to control airborne pathogens and odor.
Documentation is critical. Insurance adjusters reject sewage claims that don't show category determination, S500 protocol followed, and EPA-product use logs.
