ABOUT THE SERVICE

Safe Cleanup After a Sewage Backup

Locally Owned • 24/7/365 Emergency Service • Serving All of New Jersey

A sewage backup turns a normal space into a biohazard in minutes. Contaminated water carries bacteria, viruses, and parasites that pose immediate health risks to anyone in the building. The CDC classifies sewage-contaminated floodwater as a serious health hazard and recommends that drywall and insulation exposed to sewage be removed entirely, not just dried or cleaned. For homes and businesses across Monmouth County, Ocean County, and the Jersey Shore, aging sewer infrastructure and heavy storm events make backups a recurring problem.

Jersey Shore Remediation provides professional sewage backup cleanup and sanitation service for residential and commercial properties throughout New Jersey. We extract standing water, remove contaminated materials, disinfect all affected surfaces, and dry the space to prevent secondary damage like mold growth. Our team responds quickly because sewage situations get worse the longer they sit.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Sewage Backup Cleanup FAQs

Is sewage backup dangerous?

Yes. Sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illness. Direct contact or even breathing in contaminated air in an enclosed space can be hazardous. The CDC recommends that anyone in contact with sewage-contaminated materials wear gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection. Professional cleanup is strongly recommended.

How fast can you respond to a sewage backup?

We are available 24/7 and serve all of New Jersey with a focus on Monmouth and Ocean County. In most cases, we can be on site within hours of your call. The faster we can get there, the less secondary damage you will have to deal with.

Will I need to replace my flooring and drywall?

It depends on how long the sewage sat and how far it spread. Porous materials like carpet, drywall, and insulation that have absorbed sewage usually need to be removed. Hard surfaces like tile and concrete can often be cleaned and disinfected. We will tell you exactly what needs to go and what can be saved.

Can sewage backup cause mold?

Yes. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours after a water event, especially in warm or humid conditions. Thorough extraction, cleaning, and drying are critical to preventing mold after a sewage backup. If mold is already present, we handle mold remediation as well.
