Homeowner Douglas R. in Jefferson, NJ experienced a serious sewage backup that resulted in water damage throughout his unfinished basement. The toilet overflow and sewer line blockage led to contaminated water spreading across the concrete floor and seeping into storage areas. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration was called in to manage the sewage removal and water mitigation. Using commercial-grade extraction and disinfecting equipment, technicians removed all standing black water and treated the area with EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions. The sewage cleanup in Jefferson, NJ was covered by the homeowner's insurance policy, ensuring full remediation and restoration.

The Jefferson, NJ team removed damaged items and debris from the affected basement area before beginning structural drying and air filtration. Because this was an unfinished basement, special attention was given to the concrete surfaces, which absorbed the biohazardous waste. Industrial dehumidifiers and air scrubbers helped speed up the drying process and eliminate residual odors. The water damage and biohazard cleanup process also included treating exposed framing and insulation to prevent microbial growth. Jefferson homeowners dealing with sewage backups and basement flooding should act quickly to prevent long-term contamination and damage. This Jefferson, NJ sewage removal project concluded with a thorough sanitation process and documentation for insurance claim support.
