Job completed for Michelle T. - Andover, NJ - Sewage Damage

Completion date: May 13, 2025

Location: Andover, NJ

Solutions provided:

Michelle T. experienced a severe sewage backup in her Andover home when a clogged main sewer line caused the toilet to overflow, flooding both the bathroom and shower area. The contaminated water posed an immediate health hazard and required emergency sewage removal and professional disinfecting services. PDQ responded swiftly to the Andover residence to begin hazardous waste cleanup, removing affected materials and performing complete sanitation of the impacted areas. The bathroom floor, subfloor, and surrounding fixtures underwent thorough extraction and cleaning to eliminate bacteria and sewage residue. Specialized air scrubbers and dehumidifiers were deployed to prevent microbial growth and deodorize the space.

Sewage removal in Andover homes requires careful attention to proper biohazard cleanup procedures, especially when black water contaminates living areas. In this case, the extensive toilet overflow demanded deep disinfecting service and restoration of all affected surfaces. The shower pan, tile grout, and vanity base were sanitized or replaced as needed to meet safety standards. Because this sewage backup was covered by the homeowner’s insurance, documentation and coordination with the adjuster were handled throughout the cleanup. From initial waste extraction to final sanitization, every phase was carried out with health and safety as the top priority. Andover property owners dealing with sewage backups must act quickly to avoid long-term structural damage and biohazard risks.
