Why Clean Joe
Why Property Owners Call Clean Joe for Sewage Cleanup
Contaminated water handled correctly
Sewage is the most contaminated kind of water damage, and it can carry bacteria that make people sick. Clean Joe is an IICRC-certified firm, and our crews wear protective gear, seal off the work area, remove materials that can’t be safely cleaned, and disinfect the affected surfaces.
Answered 24/7
A sewage backup is an emergency that doesn’t wait for business hours. We answer our line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
Documentation for your claim
Sewer backup coverage depends on your policy, so we photograph and document the damage from the first visit and stay in contact with your adjuster until the claim closes.
Family-run since 1983
Josef Sr. started Josef’s Cleaning in 1983, and his family still runs Clean Joe today. Since then, our crews have restored more than 35,000 properties.
What We Do
Services Often Needed After a Sewage Backup
Sewage soaks into drywall and subflooring, and the moisture it leaves behind can lead to mold. Belongings in the area need to be cleaned or thrown out, and anything torn out has to be rebuilt. Clean Joe handles all of it as part of the same job, including structural drying, odor removal, mold remediation, contents cleaning, and reconstruction.

Questions
Emergency Sewage Cleanup and Removal FAQs
Is sewage water dangerous?
Yes. Sewage can carry bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants, and the restoration industry treats it as the most contaminated category of water. Treat a backup as an emergency. Keep children and pets away from the area and avoid touching anything the water reached.
Can I clean up a sewage backup myself?
We strongly recommend against it. Sewage soaks into drywall, carpet, and subflooring, where surface cleaning doesn’t reach it, and handling it without protective gear exposes you to bacteria. A professional crew removes contaminated materials, sanitizes the area, and confirms the structure is dry.
What has to be thrown away after a sewage backup?
Porous materials the sewage soaked, like carpet, padding, upholstered furniture, and the lower section of drywall, usually can’t be safely cleaned and are removed. Hard, nonporous surfaces and many belongings can be cleaned and sanitized. We assess each item before anything is discarded.
Does homeowners insurance cover a sewage backup?
Many standard homeowners policies exclude sewer and drain backups unless a water backup endorsement has been added. Check your policy or call your agent before cleanup starts. We document the damage and work directly with your adjuster on the claim.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
It depends on how far the sewage spread and how much material has to come out. Drying usually takes about 3 to 5 days, longer for big losses or dense materials, and replacing drywall and flooring adds time after that. Your free estimate lays out the work before we start.
