Why Seattle Homes Need Sewage Cleanup

Sustained regional rain regularly surcharges sewer mains here, and low-lying basements and crawl spaces are where that water ends up.

Seattle's water damage is a marathon, not a sprint: nine months of rain and atmospheric-river events soak roofs, siding, and drainage until something gives, and the city's beloved Craftsman housing stock — much of it a century old — meets that weather with original plumbing, stone foundations, and basements that seep every winter.

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
