Most Sewage Cleanup calls come in as an emergency — a backed-up line or overflowing fixture that's already spreading. Our Charleston dispatchers get a crew moving immediately.

Blackwater contamination moves fast, so response speed and correct material removal decisions both matter on a Sewage Cleanup call.
Every technician carries an active bloodborne pathogen and water damage restoration certification, and full liability insurance covers your property.
Because we station technicians near Charleston, extraction can begin within the hour of your call.
A written price is provided after on-site assessment, and it stays the same once the crew begins extraction.
Every Charleston crew carries the equipment IICRC S500 protocols call for on a Category 3 water job.
Every Sewage Cleanup job gets scoped after assessing contamination extent, since backup source and duration both affect the right approach.
Truck-mount extraction units remove standing sewage water quickly, limiting how far contamination spreads into surrounding materials.
Anything porous that absorbed sewage gets removed — IICRC standards don't allow treating blackwater-soaked porous material in place.
Affected structural surfaces receive antimicrobial application to prevent bacterial and mold growth after extraction and removal.
We track drying progress with moisture meters rather than guessing when a structure is actually dry.
Technicians assess likely backup causes — tree root intrusion, municipal line issues, or sump pump failure — to help prevent recurrence.
Ozone or hydroxyl treatment addresses lingering odor once extraction, removal, and antimicrobial treatment are complete.
Call +1-844-401-0166 and a dispatcher asks about the extent of the backup and affected areas before a crew is routed.
Once scoped by phone, the nearest available crew heads to your Charleston location as fast as possible.
On-site, the crew confirms scope and likely backup cause, then gives a firm price before beginning extraction.
The job closes with a walkthrough and written report, and we return at no charge if a follow-up check finds anything unresolved.

Trauma Clean Pros dispatches Sewage Cleanup crews throughout Charleston and the broader Charleston, SC region, positioned to reach most addresses within the hour.
We typically reach Charleston addresses within the hour given how quickly blackwater contamination spreads.

Category 3 blackwater contamination makes porous materials like carpet padding unsalvageable under IICRC S500 standards, regardless of how they look.
Coverage depends on your policy, but our itemized reports and photos usually satisfy what insurers need.
Timelines vary by how much material absorbed water, but most jobs dry within a few days of continuous equipment use.
Common causes include tree root intrusion into sewer lines, municipal line failures, and sump pump failure during heavy rain.
