Sewage Backup Cleanup in Edmonton
A sewer or drain backup can affect flooring, walls, contents, and other building materials quickly. When contaminated water is still affecting your home, rental property, commercial space, or common area, you need to know what should happen first.
We provide sewage backup cleanup in Edmonton and surrounding communities. For urgent sewage situations, we offer 24/7 emergency service with a two-hour response time.
You don’t need to determine the full extent of the damage before you call us. We’ll assess the affected area, determine the water category, and explain what needs to be extracted, removed, cleaned, dried, or restored.
About The Service
When to Call for Professional Sewage Cleanup
- Call us when you’re dealing with:
- A sewer or drain backup in a basement, bathroom, utility room, or other living area
- Contaminated water affecting flooring, drywall, insulation, or contents
- Standing water in a rental unit, commercial property, or shared building area
- A backup that has spread into more than one room or level
- Materials that may need removal because they can’t be safely retained
- Moisture that remains after the visible water has been removed
- A property that will need repairs after cleanup
If the situation is still actively affecting the property, our 24/7 Emergency Response & Cleanup Services team can help determine the immediate priority.
What to Do Before We Arrive
Your safety comes first.
Don’t enter an area that feels unsafe, and don’t handle sewage or contaminated standing water yourself.
When it’s safe to do so:
- Keep people and pets away from the affected area
- Let us know where the backup appears to have started
- Tell us which rooms, units, or common areas are affected
- Let us know whether the property is occupied
- Tell us if a plumber, property manager, insurer, or other party is already involved
You don’t need to start cleanup before we arrive. We’ll assess the conditions and determine the appropriate response.
Our Services
What Sewage Backup Cleanup Can Include
Water Extraction and Assessment
Standing water is removed using appropriate equipment, and we assess the affected areas to understand how far moisture and contamination have travelled.
Sewage backups are handled through our broader Water Damage and Flood Restoration service, where the water category and condition of affected materials guide the cleanup plan.
Removal of Affected Materials
Not every wet material can be safely dried and retained.
When contaminated water has affected porous materials, removal may be required before the property can move into drying, cleaning, or repair.
We’ll explain which materials need attention and why.
Cleaning and Sanitation
Once standing water and materials that can’t be retained have been addressed, affected areas are cleaned based on the conditions present.
The goal is to deal with the contamination properly rather than treating the backup as a routine water loss.
Moisture Management
Visible water isn’t the only concern after a backup.
Moisture can remain in surrounding materials after extraction. We assess moisture conditions and use controlled drying where the category of water and condition of the materials allow it.
If moisture problems later contribute to mould concerns, our Mould Remediation team can assess what needs to be addressed.
Restoration and Repairs
Sewage cleanup may require flooring, drywall, insulation, or other affected materials to be removed.
Once the area is stable and the required cleanup is complete, our Restoration and Reconstruction team can coordinate repairs or rebuilding when needed.
One Team From Emergency Cleanup Through Restoration
A sewage backup can start as an emergency cleanup and become a larger property recovery project.
You shouldn’t have to arrange one company for extraction, another for contaminated materials, and another for repairs.
We handle cleanup, remediation, restoration, and reconstruction, so the work can stay connected as the condition of the property becomes clear.
What Happens After You Call
We’ll ask what happened, which areas appear to be affected, whether the water is still present, and whether there are access or safety concerns.
That helps us understand what the property needs first.
On site, we’ll assess the spread of water, determine the water category, and review the affected materials.
The scope is based on the actual property conditions, not a standard drying package.
Depending on the situation, this may involve extraction, removal of affected materials, cleaning, moisture management, and documentation.
We’ll keep you informed about what is being handled and what remains.
Once the contaminated water and affected materials have been addressed, we’ll explain whether repairs or reconstruction are required.
When they are, we can keep that work coordinated instead of leaving you to start the process again with another contractor.
Support for Homes, Managed Properties, and Businesses
- A sewage backup creates different responsibilities depending on the property.
- Homeowners can get help when a basement, bathroom, utility area, or other part of the home has been affected.
- Landlords and property managers can get coordinated support for affected units, common areas, access requirements, documentation, and restoration.
- Commercial property owners and businesses can get controlled cleanup when contaminated water disrupts the use of a space.
- Insurance professionals can get clear communication, documentation, and coordinated restoration support when a claim is involved.
We’ll adapt the work to the property, affected materials, access requirements, and people responsible for the next decisions.
