24/7 Sewage Damage Cleanup in Dallas & New Hope, GA

Professional Sewage Backup Cleanup in Dallas, GA

A sewage backup can spread contaminated water through bathrooms, basements, flooring, drywall, cabinets, and other parts of a property. Sewer backups, toilet overflows, septic problems, and damaged wastewater lines should be addressed quickly because the affected water may contain bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants.

Phillips Restoration Services provides sewage damage cleanup, sewage water removal, disinfection, structural drying, and water damage repair for homes and businesses in Dallas, New Hope, Paulding County, and surrounding communities.

Our team removes the contaminated water, evaluates affected materials, cleans and disinfects salvageable surfaces, dries the structure, and removes materials that cannot be safely restored.

Common Causes of Sewage Backups

Sewage damage can happen suddenly and may affect anything the contaminated water reaches. Common causes include:

• Clogged Sewer Lines – Blockages can force wastewater back through toilets, tubs, showers, or floor drains.
• Septic System Problems – A malfunctioning or overloaded septic system may cause wastewater to back up into the property.
• Tree Root Intrusion – Roots can enter damaged sewer lines and restrict wastewater flow.
• Heavy Rain – Excess water can contribute to overloaded or damaged sewer systems.
• Damaged Sewer Pipes – Broken, collapsed, or deteriorated lines can prevent wastewater from draining properly.
• Severe Toilet Overflows – Wastewater from a blocked toilet can spread quickly into flooring and nearby rooms.

If sewage enters your property, avoid direct contact with the affected water and keep children and pets away from the contaminated area.

Our Sewage Cleanup Process

Sewage damage requires more than removing the standing water. Contamination may affect flooring, drywall, insulation, cabinets, baseboards, and other porous materials.

• Inspection & Safety Assessment – We identify affected areas, evaluate the extent of the contamination, and determine the appropriate cleanup plan.
• Containment – Affected areas are isolated when necessary to help limit the spread of contaminated water and debris.
• Sewage Removal & Extraction – Standing sewage and contaminated water are removed using professional extraction equipment.
• Removal of Damaged Materials – Contaminated porous materials that cannot be properly cleaned and restored may need to be removed.
• Cleaning & Disinfection – Remaining surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and treated as appropriate for the materials and level of contamination.
• Structural Drying – Air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture-detection equipment are used to dry affected structural materials.
• Odor Control & Restoration – Additional cleaning, filtration, deodorization, and repairs are completed as needed to restore the property.

What to Do After a Sewage Backup

Until professional cleanup begins, limiting contact with the affected area can help reduce the spread of contamination.

• Keep children, pets, and unnecessary foot traffic away from the affected area.
• Avoid touching sewage water or contaminated materials with bare skin.
• Do not use household fans to blow air across sewage-contaminated areas.
• If it can be done safely, stop using plumbing fixtures connected to the affected drain or sewer line.
• Contact a plumber or sewer professional if the source of the backup still needs to be corrected.
• Call Phillips Restoration Services so cleanup and water removal can begin as soon as possible.

Cleaning only the visible surface may leave contaminated moisture in flooring, walls, trim, or other materials. Professional cleanup addresses both the contamination and the remaining moisture.

What Can Be Saved After Sewage Damage?

Whether a material can be restored depends on what it is made of, how heavily it was contaminated, and how long it remained wet.

Hard, non-porous surfaces can often be cleaned and disinfected when they remain structurally sound. Materials that readily absorb sewage may need to be removed if they cannot be adequately cleaned and dried.

These may include:

• Carpet and carpet padding
• Drywall and insulation
• Certain types of flooring
• Baseboards and trim
• Particleboard and other absorbent materials
• Heavily contaminated contents

Phillips Restoration Services evaluates the affected materials before determining what should be cleaned, dried, removed, or replaced.
