Job completed for Alex K. - Newton, NJ - Sewage Damage

Completion date: April 25, 2025

Location: Newton, NJ

Solutions provided:

Alex K. faced an urgent sewage situation in his Newton home when a toilet in the upstairs bathroom overflowed due to a sudden blockage in the waste line. The black water flooded the tiled bathroom floor, soaking the grout lines and leaking into the subfloor beneath. PDQ’s sewage removal team responded immediately to the Newton property, initiating emergency extraction and disinfecting services. Contaminated water was removed using commercial-grade vacuums, and the tile floor and surrounding baseboards were sanitized to eliminate hazardous pathogens. Affected grout and porous materials were either deep cleaned or replaced to meet hygiene standards.

Toilet overflows in Newton homes—especially on tile surfaces—require prompt sewage removal and biohazard cleanup to prevent bacteria spread and structural damage. In this case, PDQ deployed air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, and surface drying tools to ensure complete moisture removal from the bathroom. The restoration also involved odor neutralization and a thorough check of the surrounding walls for secondary contamination. Because Alex carried insurance that covered sewage backups, the Newton cleanup was handled as a covered claim with all required documentation. Sewage overflows like this highlight the importance of professional disinfecting services to fully restore affected bathrooms and ensure safety.
