Sewage Backup Cleanup in Lawrenceville, Snellville & Gwinnett County, GA
A sewer line backup or overflowing toilet is the most hazardous kind of water loss in a home. Raw sewage carries E. coli, hepatitis and other pathogens, and it soaks into every porous material it touches.
Liberty Water & Fire responds 24/7 to sewage cleanup across Auburn, Dacula, Buford, Lawrenceville, Suwanee, Duluth, Grayson, Snellville, Loganville, Winder and the rest of Metro Atlanta. Please keep children and pets away from the area and do not try to mop it up yourself.
Call (404) 805-0228How we clean up sewage safely
Sewage work follows IICRC S500 Category 3 protocols.
- Containment and PPE to keep contamination from spreading through the house.
- Extraction of sewage and contaminated water.
- Removal and bagged disposal of carpet, pad, drywall and insulation that contacted sewage.
- Cleaning, then EPA-registered disinfection of all structural surfaces.
- Drying and HEPA air scrubbing to remove odor and airborne contaminants.
- Reconstruction of removed materials.
Common causes
Tree roots in clay sewer laterals, grease buildup, municipal main surcharges during heavy rain, failing septic tanks and flushed wipes are the usual culprits. Sewer backup coverage is often an add-on endorsement, so check your policy. We photograph conditions, log moisture and contamination readings, build a room-by-room scope and talk directly with your adjuster, so the claim keeps moving and most homeowners pay only their deductible on covered losses.

Sewage Cleanup questions
Is sewage cleanup dangerous to do myself?
Yes. Sewage contains pathogens that cause serious illness, and household cleaners do not properly disinfect porous materials.
Does insurance cover sewer backups?
Often only with a sewer and drain backup endorsement. We document the loss either way.
Can I stay in the house?
If the affected area can be contained and you have working bathrooms elsewhere, often yes. We will advise on site.
