Sewage Backup Cleanup in Austin, TX
Texas Restoration Group provides 24/7 sewage backup cleanup for residential and commercial properties throughout Austin and Central Texas. Sewage is classified as Category 3 (black water) under the IICRC S500 Standard — the most severe water damage classification. Our IICRC-certified technicians arrive in full PPE, extract all contaminated water and materials, apply EPA-registered disinfectants, and dry the structure to prevent mold growth.
All porous materials contaminated by Category 3 water — carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and wood framing below the flood line — must be removed and properly disposed of per IICRC protocols. Non-porous surfaces are cleaned with EPA-registered antimicrobials. We document all damage for your insurance claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is sewage backup covered by homeowners insurance?
Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover sewage backup damage. A separate sewer backup endorsement is required. We document all damage thoroughly to support your claim.
- Is sewage backup dangerous to my health?
Yes — sewage (Category 3 black water) contains bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that pose serious health risks. Do not attempt cleanup yourself. Call a professional restoration company immediately.
- How long does sewage cleanup take?
Most residential sewage cleanup projects take 2–5 days: 1 day for extraction and disinfection, followed by 3–4 days of structural drying.
