The difference between a sewage cleanup and a standard basement flood is demolition scope and disposal cost. The drying process is similar, but Category 3 adds mandatory PPE, disposal manifesting, and disinfection — all of which need to be documented for the insurance scope.

Oakland Township’s wooded lots create beautiful homes and higher-than-average roof damage exposure — falling limbs during storms are a leading cause of interior water damage here.
Housing here is predominantly Upscale 1990s–2020s custom homes on large wooded lots. The most common restoration-related issues in Oakland Township are well and septic overflow, finished basement flooding, tree-related roof damage. Our crews treat each property as its own project — scope, drying time, and rebuild needs are written based on what we measure on site, not a generic playbook.
Sewage backup is classified as IICRC S500 Category 3 "black water" and requires strict containment, PPE, and disposal protocols. Porous materials that have contacted sewage are removed and disposed of — they cannot be cleaned. Non-porous surfaces are cleaned and treated with EPA-registered disinfectant. The scope is documented in Xactimate for your insurance carrier.
The same documented process on every project — based on IICRC S500.
Crews enter in Tyvek suits, gloves, boots, eye protection, and P-100 respirators. Entry and exit are controlled through a decontamination zone.
Sewage is pumped out with dedicated equipment. Pump discharge is to sanitary sewer per code, not storm sewer.
All porous materials in contact with sewage — carpet, pad, drywall bottom 24", MDF trim, insulation — are removed and disposed of. Non-porous materials stay.
Non-porous surfaces are cleaned and treated with EPA-registered disinfectant rated for Category 3 water. Two-step clean-then-disinfect process.
After disinfection, air movers and dehumidifiers dry affected framing and concrete per IICRC S500.
Moisture verification confirms dry standard. Drywall, trim, flooring, and paint are rebuilt. Documented in Xactimate.

Common questions from Oakland Township homeowners before they call.
Most standard homeowner policies exclude sewer backups unless you have a specific water/sewer backup rider. Coverage and limits vary widely. We document the full scope in Xactimate so you have itemized paperwork regardless of coverage decision.
Per IICRC S500, carpet pad exposed to Category 3 water must be disposed of. Carpet itself is typically removed with the pad unless it can be cleaned and disinfected to return it to pre-loss condition — uncommon with sewage exposure.
The affected area should be avoided until cleanup is complete. For a contained basement backup, most homeowners can stay on upper floors. For first-floor sewage events, temporary relocation during active cleanup is typical.
Prime Restoration is a licensed restoration contractor, not a public adjuster. Under Michigan law (MCL 500.1201) only the homeowner or a licensed public adjuster can negotiate an insurance claim. What we do is document the full project scope in Xactimate so you have clear line-item paperwork to submit to your carrier.
