Sewage contamination is one of the most hazardous forms of water damage and must be cleaned by trained professionals. Category 3 water, also known as blackwater, contains harmful bacteria, viruses, pathogens and biological waste that can soak into flooring, walls, subfloors and structural materials.
Attempting to clean sewage without proper techniques, PPE and sanitation procedures can spread contamination, cause illness and make a property unsafe to occupy.
Ever Ready Solutions provides Sewage and Category 3 Water Clean-Up across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Redland Bay, Moreton Bay and the Gold Coast, restoring affected properties to safe and sanitary conditions using controlled remediation and industry-approved decontamination processes.
What Sewage and Category 3 Water Clean-Up Involves
Sewage contamination occurs when toilets overflow, pipes back up, septic systems fail or floodwaters enter from outside drainage systems. This type of water damage carries biological waste and disease-causing microorganisms that require strict removal and sanitation procedures.
Unlike standard water damage, sewage-affected materials often need removal rather than drying, and surfaces must be disinfected thoroughly to prevent health risks.
Our team manages containment, extraction, removal of affected materials, sanitation and air quality improvement to ensure the property is returned to safe standards.
When Professional Sewage Clean-Up Is Required
Professional intervention is needed whenever water contamination involves sewer systems, toilet water, wastewater lines or floodwater entering from outside ground level.
Homes, businesses and rental properties affected by sewage cannot be safely cleaned using household products. Property managers, landlords and homeowners rely on trained remediation technicians to prevent cross-contamination, structural damage, mould growth and health hazards.
This service is essential for restoring habitability, maintaining compliance and protecting occupants from exposure.
Our Sewage & Category 3 Cleaning Process
Assessment and Safety Controls
We begin by identifying the source and extent of contamination. Protective equipment, safety zones and containment may be used to prevent spread into unaffected areas.
Extraction and Removal
Contaminated water is extracted and affected materials such as carpets, underlay, timber flooring or plasterboard may be removed if they cannot be sanitised.
Sanitisation and Decontamination
Hospital-grade cleaning agents are used to disinfect surfaces and neutralise bacteria, viruses and biological contaminants.
Structural Drying and Air Quality
Once the area is sanitised, drying equipment and HEPA air filtration may be used to prevent mould growth and restore safe indoor conditions.
Final Clearance and Handover
After cleaning and drying, the property is reassessed to ensure it meets hygienic standards. Documentation can be provided for insurance or property management records upon request.
