Sewage Cleanup
in Live Oak, TX
When sewage backs up into your Live Oak home, every hour it sits it soaks further into your floors and the bottom of your walls. We answer 24/7 and send a crew in full protective gear to stop the spread, pull out the waste and disinfect everything it touched. Our crew heads northeast from our San Antonio office with extraction equipment on the truck. Most homes here sit on a concrete slab, so we work the way a slab needs: waste runs under the flooring and wicks up into drywall. We clean it, dry it, rebuild it and handle the paperwork with your insurance company.

Our Proven 5-Step Sewage Cleanup Process
Answer, Advise and Dispatch
When you call, we tell you which drains to stop using and to keep children and pets out of the wet rooms. Then we send the crew.
Map How Far the Sewage Spread
On a slab, sewage travels under laminate, vinyl plank and carpet farther than you can see. We use moisture meters to find the edge of the damage and photograph every room for your adjuster.
Remove the Waste and the Materials It Soaked
We extract the waste, then take out carpet, pad, floating floors, baseboards and the lower part of the drywall it reached. Tile on the slab can often stay once it is cleaned.
Disinfect, Dry and Clear the Air
We disinfect the slab, the wall framing and the fixtures, then set dehumidifiers and air scrubbers. We check the readings each visit until the slab and the walls test dry and the odor is gone.
Work With Your Plumber and Rebuild
Your plumber clears or repairs the line; we work around their schedule so the cleanup and the repair do not hold each other up. Then we replace drywall, flooring, trim and paint.
