What makes sewage backup cleanup different from regular water damage restoration?
Sewage backups involve Category 3 “black water” containing dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that require specialized biohazard protocols beyond standard water extraction. RestoreCo’s certified technicians use advanced PPE, antimicrobial treatments, and EPA-compliant disposal methods to safely eliminate health threats that typical water damage companies aren’t equipped to handle.

Can I safely clean up a small sewage backup myself in my Boulder home?
Even minor sewage exposures contain dangerous pathogens like E. coli, salmonella, and hepatitis that can cause serious illness, making DIY cleanup extremely risky for you and your family. RestoreCo’s trained professionals have the proper protective equipment, antimicrobial treatments, and disposal protocols required to safely eliminate these health hazards while preventing contamination spread throughout your property.

What health risks does sewage contamination pose to Boulder families?
Sewage contains dangerous pathogens including E. coli, hepatitis, and parasites that can cause serious illness through contact or inhalation.

How do Boulder’s older sewer systems contribute to backup problems?
Many Boulder neighborhoods have aging clay or cast iron sewer lines susceptible to root intrusion and collapse, especially during spring snowmelt and heavy rainfall periods.
