Sewage backup is Category 3 blackwater, which means it carries real health risk and requires a completely different protocol than a clean-water leak. A DIY approach to sewage cleanup puts household members at real risk of exposure.
Our Hillsboro, IL crews suit up in full PPE before entering a contaminated space, no exceptions.

PPE compliance isn't optional on our Hillsboro, IL sewage jobs, it's standard procedure.
Our Hillsboro, IL disinfection process uses compliant, registered products rather than generic household cleaner.
Compliant disposal protects your Hillsboro, IL property from liability down the line.
Containment barriers go up before cleanup starts, keeping contaminated water isolated from living spaces.
Here's the full scope of a Hillsboro sewage backup response.

Contaminated water is extracted using equipment dedicated to blackwater jobs, kept separate from clean-water equipment.
Every technician on-site wears full protective gear rated for blackwater exposure.
Porous materials — carpet, drywall, insulation — that contacted sewage are removed and disposed of per regulatory guidelines.
Disinfection follows the same standard regardless of how small the backup appeared initially.
Pathogen control continues until air and surface testing confirm the space is safe.
We verify air quality after cleanup to confirm the space is safe for reoccupation.
We ask enough to confirm this is a sewage-related call and prepare accordingly.
Containment barriers and PPE are standard equipment for every dispatch.
We assess contamination scope and provide a written estimate before cleanup begins.
We verify air quality and surface disinfection before signing off on the job.
