Why Columbus Homes Need Sewage Cleanup

Older Ohio cities run aging combined sewers that surcharge in summer cloudbursts, sending stormwater and sewage up basement floor drains across whole neighborhoods.

Columbus basements bear the brunt: summer cloudbursts overwhelm aging sewer lines and back up floor drains, spring rains flood the Scioto and Olentangy corridors, and winter freezes burst pipes in the city's large stock of older housing.

What Sewage Cleanup Involves

• Containment and full PPE protocols — raw sewage is Category 3 biohazard water
• Extraction of sewage and solids with dedicated equipment
• Removal and disposal of contaminated porous materials
• Hospital-grade disinfection of all affected surfaces
• HEPA air scrubbing throughout the work area
• Structural drying, moisture verification, and rebuild
