Homeowner Greg T. in Chatham, NJ faced a serious sewage backup that flooded his unfinished basement with contaminated water, affecting stored contents and structural components. The source of the loss was a main sewer line blockage that caused wastewater to overflow and collect throughout the basement floor. Upon arrival, PDQ’s sewage removal team conducted an emergency assessment and began immediate extraction of the standing black water. Because sewage water poses serious health risks, all affected items were removed, and the basement was treated with professional-grade disinfecting services. The contaminated materials were documented for the homeowner’s insurance, which covered the biohazard cleanup and restoration process.

Sewage cleanup in Chatham, NJ requires careful handling of porous surfaces, exposed utilities, and any basement contents in contact with the waste-contaminated floodwater. PDQ technicians performed a comprehensive biohazard clean-up, including pressure washing of the concrete, HEPA vacuuming, and application of antimicrobial treatments. In many Chatham, NJ homes with unfinished basements, sewage backups can impact stored furniture, seasonal decorations, and HVAC systems—all of which require specialized cleaning or disposal. This trauma clean-up was completed with industrial drying equipment to prevent mold formation in the humid aftermath. The job reflects the importance of swift sewage removal services in Chatham, NJ, where aging infrastructure can often contribute to similar biohazard emergencies.
