24/7 Emergency Sewage Cleanup & Disinfecting
Sewage Cleanup & Disinfecting 24/7 Emergency Services
When a sewer backs up, your whole property is at risk – not just from water damage, but from potentially harmful contaminants that can make you, your family, or your employees sick. Sewage cleanup requires professional help from the experts at ExactRecon, serving Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Ypsilanti, Dexter, Saline, and several other communities in the area.
What to Do When You Have Sewage Backup
Sewage backups are more than just unpleasant—they pose serious health risks and can cause significant damage if not handled properly. If you’re facing a sewage backup, follow these six critical steps:
1.
Leave the Area Immediately
Sewage water can contain dangerous bacteria, viruses, and contaminants. If you see or smell a sewage backup, avoid the area and keep children and pets away.
2.
Turn Off Electrical Power (If Safe)
If sewage water is near electrical outlets or appliances, shut off the power to that area—only if it’s safe to do so. If not, wait for professionals.
3.
Avoid Contact With Contaminated Water
Don’t try to clean up sewage water with towels, mops, or shop vacs. Contact with black water can cause serious illness. Protective gear and proper disposal are essential.
4.
Call ExactRecon Immediately
We respond 24/7 to handle sewage backups quickly and safely. Our certified technicians use professional-grade disinfectants, extraction equipment, and protective gear to eliminate the mess and sanitize the area.
5.
Document the Damage
If it’s safe to do so, take photos or videos of the affected area before any cleanup begins. This documentation will help with insurance claims.
6.
Avoid Using Water Until the Problem is Fixed
Stop using toilets, sinks, and showers to prevent further backup into your home. A plumber or restoration expert will need to inspect the system before normal use can resume.

What Not to Do After a Sewage Backup
Don’t Try to Clean It Up Yourself
Sewage water is considered Category 3 “black water”—highly contaminated and dangerous to your health. DIY cleanup without proper protective equipment and disinfectants can lead to serious illness.
Don’t Ignore the Damage
Sewage carries harmful pathogens that can linger even after the water is gone. Delaying cleanup increases the risk of mold, structural damage, and contamination throughout your home.
Don’t Throw Away Damaged Items Too Soon
You might be tempted to toss ruined furniture or materials, but insurance companies may require photos or on-site inspection of damaged property to approve your claim. Document everything first.
