We clean and restore sewer backups in Lane County.

Our local teams in Springfield and East Lane County are trained and certified to clean and restore sewer backups. We have the protective gear and equipment necessary to restore sewage backups safely. Here are the three categories of contaminated water we address on our website:

Category 1: “Clean Water”

This is water from a clean source, such as a broken clean water supply line or faucet.

• If left untreated, it can degrade into category two or three

Category 2: “Gray Water”

This water has a significant level of contamination that could cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Sources for category two water may include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces or dishwasher overflow.

• It May contain bacteria and viruses
• It can quickly degrade into category three if left untreated

Category 3: “Black Water”

This water is grossly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested. Any contact should be avoided. Sources for category three water could include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

• May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes
• Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup
