Dealing With a Sewage Backup?

If sewage backed up into a home or business, tell us where it is and what’s affected. Specialized cleanup may be needed. We’ll help you take the next step.

Independent provider may be needed

Sewage backup is contaminated work. Do not treat this page as DIY cleanup advice. If the area is unsafe, leave it.

What’s going on

If sewage backed up into a drain, a basement, or a living space, tell us where it is and what’s affected. Specialized cleanup may be needed. With your permission, we may connect you with one independent provider that does this work. A sewage backup is contaminated work — it is not something a regular cleaning crew should handle. Wilke does not send ordinary cleaning crews to that material. Do not follow DIY sewage-cleanup instructions from this website. If the area is unsafe, leave it and contact emergency services or the utility.

Can your cleaning crew just disinfect it?
