Our sewage cleanup process
Are you looking for sewage cleanup services? A floor drain backed up, the toilet overflowed with more than water, or the sewer line pushed waste into the basement. Contaminated water needs different handling from a clean leak, and we begin with a free, no-commitment inspection of your home or commercial building.
1Call and we dispatch
Stop using the water and call. A person answers 24/7, tells you to keep people and pets out of the affected rooms, and sends a crew. Sewage is a health hazard, so our emergency response aims to be at your door within the hour.
2We find where the water went
Sewage travels farther than the mess suggests. Using a thermal imaging camera and moisture meters, we find how far it soaked into flooring, drywall and wall cavities, and we record every room in DocuSketch. That map decides what can be cleaned and which materials have to be removed.
3We dry it and handle the paperwork
We extract the waste water, remove porous materials it touched, and disinfect what stays. Drying equipment and dehumidifiers run until readings meet the IICRC standard. The job is written up in Xactimate. You pay your deductible, we bill insurance for the rest, and the space is ready for the rebuild.

“APEX Restoration came out to look at a sewer line leak we had in the crawlspace, and I have to say that they were absolutely AMAZING! Daniel arrived first and walked us through the process of what to expect for the cleanup, and even got on the line with our insurance company to help open a claim.”

Why homeowners call us for a sewage backup
We are there within the hour
A sewage backup gets worse by the hour, and nobody should live beside it. We answer at any time and usually reach you within the hour, ready to stop the spread and start removing what is contaminated.
Free inspections & estimates (no commitment)
We inspect first and charge nothing for it. An IICRC certified technician measures how far the contamination went, with moisture meters and a thermal camera, and gives you a written estimate. It is yours with no obligation, and you sign only if you want the work.
We work with all insurance companies
We bill insurance companies directly. You pay your deductible and we bill them for the rest. Our estimates are in Xactimate, the same software insurers use. Sewer backup cover is often an add-on to a homeowners policy, so we help you check. If not, 0% financing options are available.
We work to maximize your coverage
Sewage claims turn on cause and extent. Hundreds of insurance claims have taught us to photograph the source, log each reading and capture every room in DocuSketch before anything is thrown out. We cannot guarantee a carrier's decision, but we make sure it is made on complete evidence.

“Our plumber recommended Apex after a significant drain failure. They were on-site that night and have been great throughout the entire process of not only handling the mess and damage, but also have helped with navigating the insurance process. No one hopes to need their service, but if you do, Apex is the way to go.”
Our Sewage Cleanup team supporting your area
Sewage work is done by licensed and insured, IICRC certified technicians in protective gear, and one project manager keeps you informed until the space is clean, dry and documented.

Sewage cleanup questions we are asked
Questions we get from our customers and our answers.
Can we stay in the house during sewage cleanup?
Stay out of the affected rooms, and keep children and pets away from them. Whether you can remain in the rest of the house depends on how far the contamination reached and whether you still have a working bathroom. We tell you plainly after the free inspection. If anyone in the home has a weak immune system or breathing problems, let us know.
Does insurance cover a sewage backup?
Sometimes. Many homeowners policies exclude sewer and drain backup unless you added that cover, and the limit on it can be modest. We look at where the backup started and help you read what your policy says, then you decide whether to claim. Nothing is reported to your insurer by having us inspect.
What has to be thrown away after a sewage backup?
Porous materials that absorbed the waste water: carpet and pad, soaked drywall, insulation, and often baseboards and particleboard cabinets. Framing lumber, and hard surfaces such as concrete and tile, can usually be cleaned, disinfected and dried instead. We list what is coming out and why before we remove anything, and we photograph it for your records.
How much does sewage cleanup cost?
It depends on how many rooms the sewage reached and how much material has to come out. The inspection is free, and the written estimate that follows is priced in Xactimate, which insurers use themselves. That keeps the price identical whether a carrier pays or you do. For losses that are not covered, ask about 0% financing options.
Will the smell go away?
Usually, once the source is gone. The odor comes from contaminated material and damp, so removing what absorbed the sewage, disinfecting the rest and drying the structure fully is what deals with it. Covering the smell does not work. We keep drying until the readings are normal, because any moisture left behind can bring odor and mold growth back. If a smell lingers after that, tell us and we come back to find what is still holding it.
