Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause severe illness. Even brief exposure can lead to serious health problems:
Children, elderly family members, and pets are especially vulnerable to these health threats.
Philadelphia’s combined sewer overflow (CSO) system and aging infrastructure create unique challenges during heavy rainfall, particularly in flood-prone areas near the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers.
We see these problems daily and understand the city’s municipal sewer challenges.
Sewage soaks into walls, floors, and furniture within hours. After 24 hours, mold starts growing. After 48 hours, you’re looking at major reconstruction instead of cleanup.
The faster you call us, the less damage you’ll have and the lower your costs will be.

Yes, sewage odors can be dangerous. The smell itself comes from gases like hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ammonia, which can cause headaches, nausea, and breathing difficulties at high concentrations. More importantly, the smell indicates the presence of sewage, which contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites. If you smell sewage in your home, you should evacuate the immediate area and call for professional help immediately.
Raw sewage cleanup requires professional equipment and training. Our process includes: 1) Extraction of all liquid sewage using specialized pumps, 2) Removal of contaminated materials that cannot be salvaged, 3) Cleaning and disinfection of all affected surfaces with EPA-approved antimicrobials, 4) Complete drying using industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, 5) Odor removal treatments, and 6) Restoration of damaged areas. All work is performed by technicians in appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) following OSHA and IICRC guidelines.
The timeline for sewage cleanup depends on the extent of contamination, the affected materials, and the size of the area. Initial extraction and cleaning typically takes 1-2 days. The drying process usually requires an additional 2-4 days, depending on the materials involved. Repairs and restoration can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for extensive damage. We provide a detailed timeline estimate during our initial assessment.
