Fast extraction, sanitizing and odor control for Cobb County businesses
Commercial Sewage Cleanup in Marietta, GA
A sewage backup in a Marietta business shuts you down — contaminated water in a restroom, kitchen, or back area that can't stay open to staff or customers. Affordable Sewage Backup Cleanup handles commercial sewage cleanup: containing the affected area, extracting the contaminated water, removing what can't be sanitized, and disinfecting so you can reopen. The plumbing that caused the backup is a separate, plumber's job.
Careful work. Honest options.
About this service
What Is Commercial Sewage Cleanup?
Commercial sewage cleanup Marietta GA is a Category 3 remediation service that removes sewage-contaminated water, solids and bacteria from a business, then disinfects and dries the affected structure. It is not a mop-and-bucket job. Raw sewage carries E. coli, hepatitis and other pathogens, so every surface it touches has to be treated as contaminated. We pull standing water with a truck-mounted extraction unit, remove soaked drywall and insulation, fog the space with an antimicrobial, and run air scrubbers with HEPA filters until moisture readings return to normal.
Marietta businesses call us for the same handful of reasons: a grease-clogged line under a restaurant kitchen, root intrusion in an older clay lateral, a toilet overflow that soaks a retail stockroom, or a basement lift station that fails overnight. Because we run commercial sewage backup cleanup Marietta GA, we can be on site while the backup is still active instead of waiting for morning. That matters, because mold can start colonizing wet drywall in 24 to 48 hours.

What's included
What Commercial Sewage Cleanup Includes
Every job starts with an assessment and a written scope. From there, the work covers extraction, removal of contaminated materials, disinfection, drying and documentation. If the backup was caused by a failed line, we can coordinate the repair with a plumber so the problem is fixed at the source, not just cleaned up.
Contaminated material removal
Saturated drywall, insulation, carpet and flooring that touched Category 3 water gets cut out and bagged for proper disposal. Porous materials do not get dried and reused.
Antimicrobial disinfection
We apply an antimicrobial disinfectant and biocide to all exposed surfaces, then fog wall cavities and ceiling voids to reach areas a sprayer cannot. This is what kills the bacteria and stops the odor.
Structural drying
Dehumidifiers and HEPA air scrubbers run until moisture readings match a dry standard. We monitor daily with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera and adjust equipment as needed.
Sewer camera inspection
A camera inspection shows what caused the backup: root intrusion, grease buildup, a bellied line or a collapsed pipe. You get the footage and a written recommendation for repair.
Insurance documentation
Photos, moisture logs, material lists and a written scope of work go into a file your adjuster can use. We bill most major carriers directly to keep the claim moving.
How it works
How Does Commercial Sewage Cleanup Work?
Call and we dispatch. We ask what backed up, where the water is pooling, and whether the building is open. You get an arrival window in minutes, not hours. If the source is still flowing, we walk you through shutting the main or isolating the fixture before we arrive.
First on site: PPE, plastic sheeting and negative air. We set containment so sewage dust and aerosols do not spread into clean areas, then run a truck-mounted extraction unit and submersible pump to pull standing water and solids. This stage usually takes 1 to 3 hours depending on volume.
We cut out saturated drywall, insulation and flooring that cannot be saved, then apply an antimicrobial disinfectant to every exposed surface. A fogger reaches into wall cavities and ceiling voids. Porous materials that touched Category 3 water do not get dried and reused.
Dehumidifiers and air scrubbers run until moisture content matches a dry standard. We check with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera daily, adjusting equipment as readings drop. Most commercial jobs dry in 3 to 5 days.
We pull equipment, confirm dry readings, and walk the space with you. You get a written summary with photos, moisture logs and the scope of any repair work still needed. If your plumber needs to replace the failed line, we coordinate that so the building is fully back to normal.

Tools & methods
Equipment and Methods for Commercial Sewage Cleanup
Truck-mounted extraction unit
Pulls large volumes of standing sewage and solids out of a building fast. This is the first piece of equipment on site for any commercial loss.
Submersible sewage pump
Moves contaminated water out of basements, crawl spaces and below-grade areas where a truck mount cannot reach.
Air scrubber with HEPA filtration
Filters airborne bacteria, mold spores and sewage aerosols out of the air during cleanup and drying.
Dehumidifier and air mover
Dries structural materials after extraction. We size the equipment to the cubic footage of the affected space.
Moisture meter and thermal imaging camera
Finds hidden moisture behind walls and under floors, and confirms when the structure is actually dry.
Sewer camera inspection system
Shows what caused the backup: root intrusion, grease, a bellied line or a collapsed pipe. You get the footage.

What Commercial Sewage Cleanup Looks Like
Commercial sewage cleanup
Restaurant kitchen backup on Marietta Square
A floor drain backed up during dinner service and sent 2 inches of sewage across 600 square feet of kitchen floor. The line had been slow for weeks and finally clogged completely. The kitchen was shut down mid-service.
After: We extracted the standing water, removed saturated flooring and 18 inches of drywall, disinfected every surface, and hydro-jetted the grease blockage. The kitchen passed inspection and reopened for the next day's lunch service.

Commercial sewage cleanup
East Cobb office toilet overflow
A second-floor toilet overflowed overnight and ran through the ceiling into a first-floor stockroom. About 400 square feet of ceiling tile and drywall were saturated, and the stockroom had standing water.
After: We isolated the fixture, extracted water from both floors, cut out saturated ceiling tile and drywall, and dried the structure with dehumidifiers and air scrubbers. Moisture readings returned to dry standard in four days.

Commercial sewage cleanup
Fair Oaks warehouse lift station failure
A lift station failed overnight and flooded 800 square feet of warehouse floor with sewage. Several pallets of inventory were in the water. The building had a strong sewer gas smell.
After: We pumped out the standing sewage, removed contaminated pallets and materials, disinfected the slab, and dried the space in three days. We coordinated the pump repair with a plumber and the station was back online before we left.

Common Commercial Sewage Backups in Marietta
Sewage backups show up in different ways depending on the building. Here are the ones we see most often in Marietta and how we handle them.
Ask a pro →Grease-clogged kitchen line backing up during service
We contain the kitchen, extract the standing water, remove saturated flooring and drywall, and disinfect every surface. Then we hydro-jet the line to clear the grease so the kitchen can pass inspection and reopen.
Root intrusion in an older clay lateral
We camera the lateral, document the root intrusion, and coordinate a repair or liner with a Georgia-plumber. A backwater valve install stops sewage from re-entering the building if the city main surcharges.
Failed lift station flooding a basement
We pump out the standing water, remove contaminated materials, disinfect the slab and walls, and dry the space with dehumidifiers sized for the volume. We also coordinate the pump repair so the station works before we leave.
Sewer odor in a retail or office space
We run a sewer camera inspection to locate the source, clean and sanitize the affected area, and seal or repair the failed section. Odor neutralizer and HEPA filtration clear the air.
