Commercial Sewage Backup Cleanup in Augusta

We clean up sewage backups in commercial buildings across Augusta, and we'll keep the affected area sealed off from the rest of the building.

Sewer System Notes

Heavy rain can overload the sewer lines serving Augusta and push sewage into lower levels. On the first walkthrough, we'll check where your building ties into the public sewer and whether it has a backflow valve.

We handle commercial sewage jobs anywhere in Augusta, including the area near the Crooked Creek Shopping Center. We also handle commercial sewage backups in Crooked Creek and Trader's Point.

Commercial Sewage Cleanup for Augusta Businesses

Sewage in a elevator pit or a below grade stairwell is a confined space problem on top of a contamination problem. Augusta Water Restoration handles those in Augusta with crews equipped for Category 3 work, sewage rated pumps, and HEPA air scrubbing to control what comes back up the shaft. The affected area gets isolated from the occupied floors before cleaning begins, and the file documents what was removed and what was treated.

Disinfectant can't work through a layer of soil, so Augusta Water Restoration cleans before it treats. Crews scrub and rinse sealed floors, grout lines, floor sinks and trench drains, then apply an EPA registered antimicrobial at label dilution and hold it wet for the label's contact time. The product, the dilution and the timing go in your Augusta job file.

Cleanup can't finish while the line still discharges, so the crew works with your maintenance team and plumber to take fixtures out of service. Restroom doors get closed and tagged, and kitchens pause dish and prep drainage until the plumber gives the all clear. Tenants upstairs hear when the line is safe to use again, and Augusta Water Restoration logs each fixture's status in the Augusta file.

Augusta Water Restoration invoices the property owner or the tenant for the work, and every invoice line ties to the documented scope the crew worked from. The office team can answer questions about what was found and what was done on site. Coverage, limits and the settlement stay with you, your carrier and your broker, and the documentation is yours to share with them.

Closing a space or working around the damage is a decision that belongs to you, and Augusta Water Restoration can lay out what each choice looks like in your Augusta building. Containment and scheduling both change depending on which way you go. Call and describe how the space is used, and we'll talk through the options.

Our Process

How Augusta Water Restoration Handles Commercial Sewage Cleanup

We follow these steps in order on every Augusta job.

1

Dispatch and Assessment

A crew dispatches to the property within 2 hours. The lead walks the affected area with building staff, identifies the source and photographs the condition before anything gets touched or moved.

2

Porous Material Removal

Materials that can't be cleaned to standard come out: drywall and base to a documented cut line, wet insulation, ceiling tile, carpet pad, and particleboard casework. Each cut line gets photographed first, and the waste leaves the building bagged and sealed.

3

Waste Handling and Disposal

Bagged waste goes into a lined container staged near the exit and stays closed between loads. Hauling receipts and load counts go into the job file so the disposal record lines up with the removal scope.

4

Daily Monitoring

A technician returns every 24 hours through the drying phase, logs readings at fixed locations, repositions equipment as the wet zones shift, and photographs any change in scope. The property manager gets an update on progress and what is left.

5

Reconstruction Scoping

Once the space is dry and verified, the rebuild gets scoped on its own: drywall, insulation, flooring, base, paint, and casework priced against what came out. Augusta Water Restoration handles the rebuild, and you approve that scope separately.

Common Questions

Commercial Sewage Cleanup FAQ

Questions Augusta property managers ask us about commercial sewage cleanup.

The crew lead walks the affected area with your staff and finds the source before equipment comes off the truck. Containment goes up next, which means poly barriers around the work zone, sealed HVAC openings, and HEPA air scrubbers pulling the space negative. Extraction starts once the boundary is set. You'll have a verbal scope before anything gets removed from the building and a written one the same day.
Usually, yes, because equipment stays in the space longer and the crew keeps returning to take readings. The drying phase ends when the materials match the dry reference readings, so a larger wet area or a loss that sat for days stretches it. The daily log in your Augusta file shows why the phase ran as long as it did.
Flood policies such as the NFIP generally respond to rising surface water, while sewer or drain backup is usually handled through an endorsement on a commercial property policy, so the two aren't interchangeable. The cause decides which one applies, and the adjuster makes that call. Augusta Water Restoration photographs the drain and the water line so the file shows how the water entered your Augusta building.
Ask what the contractor will hand you at the end of the job. Work done to the S500 leaves a trail: containment before extraction, a water category with its evidence, daily moisture logs against a dry reference, photographs of each removal and a final verification. Augusta Water Restoration builds that file for your Augusta building as the job runs, so you can compare it with any other vendor's paperwork.
Extraction and removal usually run one to two days on a contained loss like a restroom block, and drying typically runs three to five days after that, with daily readings deciding the end of it. A below grade level, a full kitchen, or a loss that sat over a weekend runs longer, because there's more porous material to remove and more volume to dry. Augusta Water Restoration won't give you a reopening date, because the readings and your inspector determine that. What you'll get is a daily log showing where the numbers are.
It comes out where the sewage reached. Carpet tile, base and drywall that soaked up sewage get removed, and tile past the wet edge can stay once the readings and a visual check show it's dry and clean. Augusta Water Restoration maps the wet edge with meters in your Augusta building, photographs it and lists each removal in the scope with the reason next to it, so ownership can see why the line falls where it does.
Yes, because impermeable finishes trap moisture against the wall behind them. After a sewage backup the crew pulls base and, where the readings call for it, vinyl wall covering to check the drywall underneath, and wet sections come out. Those behind the surface checks are how the crew finds a source of lingering odor in Augusta, and each opening is photographed for the file.
Keep people out of the affected area, including your own staff, and close the door or rope it off. Stop water going down any drain that feeds the blocked line, which usually means closing a restroom block or a kitchen while fixtures would otherwise keep discharging. Call your plumber if the line is still backing up. Shut off the HVAC unit serving the space if you can do it from a panel, because a running system moves contaminated air into the rest of the building. Leave the area as it is, so the crew can photograph it before cleanup starts.
Drying equipment can run through operating hours behind a sealed barrier, though air movers and dehumidifiers make noise and put warm air into the space. The crew places machines to keep cords and airflow out of walkways and to keep noise away from occupied offices where the layout allows, and loud demolition can move to off hours. Augusta Water Restoration talks through the setup with the Augusta property manager before the first machine goes on.
Often, yes, and it's usually worth sequencing it that way in a multitenant building. The rebuild gets phased so the spaces your tenants need most come back first, as long as those areas have cleared verification. Augusta Water Restoration will lay out the sequence with you once the space is dry and the scope is priced. The reopening date comes from the readings and your inspector, so Augusta Water Restoration gives it once the verification supports it.
