Location: Basking Ridge, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Matthew B. in Basking Ridge, NJ experienced sewage damage in his finished basement bathroom after a toilet backup caused Category 3 water to flood the space. Contaminated water spread across the wood floor and seeped beneath the baseboards and cabinetry, posing serious biohazard risks. Our sewage cleanup team in Basking Ridge, NJ responded with emergency containment, full PPE, and extraction of all sewage-impacted water. Due to the exposure, the wood flooring and affected trim were removed, and all surfaces were thoroughly disinfected with EPA-registered antimicrobial agents. Negative air machines were installed to control odor and airborne contaminants during remediation.

The homeowner’s insurance provider approved the sewage damage cleanup and associated demolition, covering the cost of materials removal, disinfection, and structural drying. In Basking Ridge, NJ, our technicians completed HEPA vacuuming, applied antimicrobial solutions, and dried exposed subflooring and wall cavities. Moisture mapping ensured that all affected areas were fully treated to prevent future microbial growth. The sewage backup in Basking Ridge, NJ required detailed documentation, including before-and-after photos and monitoring logs for insurance purposes. This incident highlights the importance of swift biohazard response when toilet backups affect finished spaces with sensitive materials like wood flooring in Basking Ridge, NJ.
