Basement Sewage Backup Cleanup in Brooklyn, NY
Do not walk through it. Sewage backup is category 3 water under the IICRC standard, which means it carries bacteria, viruses and parasites, and contact with broken skin or splashing near the face is a genuine health risk.
Mon Ami Biohazard Cleanup responds across Brooklyn, NY around the clock. Crews arrive in full PPE, extract the contaminated water, remove porous materials, then clean and disinfect every remaining surface before drying begins.
The removal part surprises people. Carpet, pad, particleboard, insulation and drywall below the water line come out rather than getting cleaned, because contamination penetrates those materials where no disinfectant reaches. Flood cuts typically go 12 to 24 inches above the high water mark. Solid surfaces like concrete, tile and sealed wood can be cleaned and kept.
Backups usually come from a blocked main line, tree roots, or a municipal sewer surcharged during heavy rain. We document which, because the cause affects both your claim and whether it happens again.
