Raw sewage in your home is a health emergency that spreads fast. Around the Clock Water Restoration handles the extraction, sanitizing, and drying of Category 3 water across Huntsville with IICRC-standard crews on-site in about an hour, any time you call.
Crews seal off the contaminated zone with containment, set up protective measures, and stop anyone from using the affected drains while crews prepare to extract the sewage safely.
Sewage is extracted with equipment dedicated to hazardous losses, and porous materials it soaked, carpet, pad, and drywall, are removed and bagged for proper disposal.
Hard surfaces and framing are cleaned and treated with a hospital-grade antimicrobial, and crews deodorize the entire space to eliminate the stubborn odor that sewage leaves behind.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure, and once readings confirm the area is dry and sanitary crews rebuild flooring, drywall, and trim to finish.
While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.
Shut the supply off at the source, or close the home's main valve if the source is not obvious. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else.
Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.
Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.
Sewage backup cleanup in Huntsville generally runs about $2,500 to $9,000, because the contamination requires protective handling, disposal of porous materials, and thorough disinfection on top of drying. Cost depends on how many rooms were affected and how far the sewage spread. Many homeowner policies cover backups only with a sewer endorsement, so crews document the loss carefully for your adjuster.

Sewage is Category 3, the most contaminated class of water, carrying bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. It requires protective equipment, containment, disposal of everything porous it touched, and hospital-grade disinfection. Clean-water losses are dried and saved; sewage losses must be decontaminated to make the home safe, which is a very different process.
It is not advised. Sewage exposure carries real health risks, and household cleaners do not properly decontaminate the affected materials and structure. Trained crews use protective gear, containment, and hospital-grade disinfectants, and they know which materials must be removed. For your safety, a contaminated backup should be handled professionally.
Most jobs run three to seven days, depending on how far the sewage spread and how much material must be removed and rebuilt. Extraction and disinfection come first, then drying is monitored with meters until the structure is safe. Crews do not rush the sanitizing or drying, since the goal is a fully safe home.
Coverage is not automatic. Many homeowner policies cover sewer and drain backups only if you carry a specific endorsement. Whether and how much is covered depends on your plan. Crews provide detailed documentation of the source, contamination, and restoration so your adjuster can assess the claim accurately.
Huntsville crews are on call 24 hours a day, local and fast, and can be on the way within the hour.
