A sewer backup hit our basement floor drain during a big storm. The crew handled the cleanup carefully and explained why certain materials had to be removed instead of just cleaned. They also caught mold starting near the baseboard before it spread further.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Nonantum-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
After a pipe leak we had mold in the crawl space. They sealed the area, removed the mold, and left everything spotless.

Local knowledge
Sewage Mold Remediation for Nonantum, MA homes
Sewage Mold Remediation in Nonantum tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Bemis, Newtonville, Watertown Square and the rest of Nonantum call us.
We handle sewage mold remediation for Nonantum the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Auburndale, about 5 minutes from our Auburndale base, so we can usually reach a Nonantum home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Sewage Mold Remediation in Nonantum, MA: common questions
Is a sewage backup more dangerous than a regular water leak?
Yes, sewage contamination carries health hazards a clean water leak doesn't, which is why porous materials are typically removed rather than dried and reused.
Does sewage cause mold faster than clean water?
The combination of moisture and organic contamination can create favorable conditions for mold to develop quickly, so fast response matters.
Will insurance cover a sewage backup?
Coverage depends on your specific policy, sometimes requiring a sewer backup rider. We document the damage thoroughly to support your claim.
Is the sewage mold remediation you do in Nonantum to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Middlesex County.
Should I try to clean up a sewage backup myself?
It's best to avoid direct contact and call a professional crew, since proper protective equipment and disposal practices are important for safety.
What materials do you remove after a sewage backup?
Porous materials like carpet, carpet padding, and drywall that contacted sewage are generally removed and disposed of rather than cleaned in place.
Do I need to leave my Nonantum home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Nonantum home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Nonantum?
Yes. We cover all of Nonantum, including Bemis, Newtonville, Watertown Square, and the rest of the Nonantum area. We are based in Auburndale, about 5 minutes from our Auburndale base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
