Frequently Asked Questions

What makes raw sewage so dangerous?

‍Raw sewage is classified as "Category 3" water. It often contains harmful pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and various viruses that can cause serious health complications upon contact or inhalation.

How quickly do I need to call for help?

‍Immediately. Sewage begins to soak into building materials instantly, and bacteria levels double every 20 minutes. Early intervention is the only way to save structural elements.

Are your cleanup services available 24/7 in Calgary?

‍Yes. We have emergency crews stationed throughout Calgary, Alberta, ready to respond to sewage overflows at any time.

What chemicals do you use for disinfection?

‍We use industrial-strength, EPA-registered disinfectants that are specifically rated to kill a broad spectrum of bacteria and viruses while remaining safe for the occupants once dry.

How is the hazardous waste disposed of?

‍We follow strict provincial guidelines for the transport and disposal of biohazardous waste, ensuring it is handled responsibly and legally.

Can you help me talk to my insurance company?

‍Absolutely. We document every stage of the cleanup and provide the necessary paperwork to help streamline your sewage damage claim.

How can I be sure the smell is truly gone?

‍We use a combination of deep-cleaning, air scrubbing, and thermal fogging to neutralize odors at their source rather than just masking them.

What is the best way to prevent this from happening again?

‍We can inspect your plumbing and suggest preventative measures like backwater valves or regular mainline cleaning to reduce your risk of a reoccurrence.
