Sewage Cleanup in Vancouver
Sewage backups are more than disgusting — they're dangerous. Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that pose serious health risks. ProServ Restoration provides certified sewage cleanup in Vancouver with full PPE, hospital-grade disinfectants, and IICRC-compliant procedures. We respond 24/7 to contain, clean, and sanitize affected areas — restoring your home to safe, livable condition.
Why Professional Sewage Cleanup Is Essential
DIY sewage cleanup puts your family's health at serious risk. Sewage water — known as 'Category 3' or 'black water' in industry standards — requires specialized containment, disposal, and disinfection that only certified professionals can provide safely and legally in BC.
Health Hazards of Sewage Contamination
- Exposure to E. coli, Salmonella, and Hepatitis A
- Mold and bacterial growth within 24-48 hours
- Airborne pathogens that linger long after water is gone
- Long-term respiratory and skin health complications
- Permanent damage to porous building materials
