Why Choose Us

What Sets COS Water Damage Restoration Apart for Sewage Cleanup in Marietta

The four factors that make our Marietta Sewage Cleanup service different from a general water damage company handling a sewage call.

☢

IICRC S520 Category 3

IICRC certification is the standard that defines whether a sewage cleanup was done correctly. Our Marietta team is certified. The difference is measurable.

🚫

Regulated Disposal

Sewage-contaminated materials removed from Marietta properties — carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and any porous material that absorbed Category 3 water — require regulated waste handling and disposal. Our Marietta crew bags, labels, and disposes of all contaminated material to applicable GA regulatory requirements. No dumping in standard refuse. No leaving contaminated materials in dumpsters that aren't rated for biohazard waste.

💧

Hospital-Grade Sanitization

After contaminated material is removed and Category 3 extraction is complete, every structural surface that contacted sewage water receives multiple applications of EPA-registered, hospital-grade antimicrobial and antifungal treatments. The sanitization sequence — spray application, dwell time, surface wipe-down, second application — is protocol-driven, not judgment-call driven. Our Marietta crew follows the sequence on every surface, every time.

📋

Insurance & Air Quality Coordination

Our Marietta claim coordinators handle the insurance piece. We can coordinate clearance testing when it's required.

Services

Sewage Cleanup Services Our Marietta Team Performs

COS Water Damage Restoration handles the complete scope of Sewage Cleanup in Marietta — from containment and extraction through material removal, sanitization, structural drying, and rebuild. Category 3 protocols, start to finish.

☢

Containment Setup & Source Control

Containment is established before extraction begins. This is non-negotiable on every Marietta sewage job.

🚫

Category 3 Extraction & Material Removal

No material gets dried in place unless it passes decontamination protocol first.

💧

Multi-Phase Antimicrobial Sanitization

After material removal, every remaining structural surface — framing, subfloor sheathing, masonry, concrete, and any hard surface that contacted sewage water in your Marietta property — receives a multi-phase sanitization treatment using EPA-registered, hospital-grade antimicrobial and antifungal agents. The sanitization sequence includes spray application, documented dwell time, surface contact, and at minimum one additional application after the first dwell cycle. This is not a one-spray process. The S520 protocol our Marietta team follows is designed to address the pathogen load that Category 3 water deposits on structural surfaces.

💨

Odor Neutralization & Air Treatment

Odor neutralization is a final treatment step, not a product sprayed at the end to cover incomplete remediation.

📋

Insurance & Backup Coverage Claims

Most GA homeowner's policies cover sewage backup events under a backup coverage rider. Our Marietta claim coordinators are familiar with the specific documentation that backup claims require — including the distinction between backup events (covered) and sewer line failures (may require separate coverage) — and build your claim file from the first day to match what your carrier's adjuster will look for. We file the claim, coordinate the adjuster visit, and follow the settlement through. You focus on your household; we handle the insurance.

🏠

Post-Remediation Reconstruction

After Category 3 remediation is confirmed complete by instrument readings and — where required — by third-party clearance testing, our licensed Marietta reconstruction team rebuilds your property: new drywall, fresh insulation, flooring, paint, trim, and any affected cabinetry or millwork. All reconstruction is performed to the same documentation standard as the remediation phase, providing a complete recovery record from sewage event to finished property that your insurance carrier and any future property transaction will find clear and complete.

Our Process

How Sewage Cleanup Works in Marietta — Category 3 Protocol

Call — Biohazard Dispatch

Sewage events require immediate evacuation of affected areas. Our dispatcher will confirm this on the call.

Arrival — Containment First

Our Marietta crew arrives in full Category 3 PPE with containment materials, dedicated contaminated-water extraction equipment, and sanitization products. Containment is established before extraction begins — no exceptions. After containment, we identify the source of the backup and coordinate correction if needed before the cleanup scope is assessed.

Assessment & Written Scope

No extraction, no material removal before the written scope is reviewed and approved by you.

Remediation & Rebuild

From sewage event to finished property — documented, guaranteed, and handled by one company.

Reviews

Marietta Customers on Our Sewage Cleanup Service

★★★★★

"We have a young child and a dog and the moment the sewage smell hit I knew this was something I couldn't handle myself. COS Water Damage Restoration's Marietta team was there in under 60 minutes, contained the area so our family could stay in the upper floors, and handled every part of the cleanup in a way I trusted. The clearance testing they coordinated at the end gave me documented proof that the remediation was complete."

Verified Marietta, GA Customer

★★★★★

"Managing a rental property in Marietta means sewage backups occasionally happen, and the response you choose matters enormously because you have tenant health and habitability on the line. COS Water Damage Restoration handled a Category 3 event at one of our properties with complete transparency — documented scope before work started, clear removal decisions explained in writing, and a clearance certificate at the end that we could show our tenant as proof the property was properly remediated. The insurance claim was settled without any dispute."

FAQs

Common Questions — Sewage Cleanup in Marietta

Why is sewage water treated as a biohazard in Marietta properties?

Sewage water — including backed-up drain water, raw sewage, and toilet overflow contents — is classified as Category 3 under the IICRC S500 water damage standard. Category 3 water is defined as grossly contaminated and contains pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other biological agents at levels that pose a direct health risk to humans and animals. Contact without appropriate PPE, breathing air in an uncontained Category 3 space, and exposure of household members to inadequately remediated surfaces are all real health risks. This is why proper containment, full PPE, and compliant sanitization are non-negotiable steps in Marietta sewage cleanup — not optional upgrades.

What materials are removed versus saved during Sewage Cleanup in Marietta?

Under IICRC S520 Category 3 protocol, porous materials that contacted sewage water and cannot be decontaminated to a safe standard are removed as regulated waste. In a typical Marietta sewage event, this includes: carpet and pad (always), standard wallboard drywall that was submerged or splashed, standard fiberglass or cellulose insulation, and any other porous finish material that absorbed Category 3 water. Hard, non-porous surfaces — concrete, ceramic tile, metal framing, pressure-treated lumber — can typically be decontaminated in place using the sanitization protocol. Our Marietta project manager evaluates each material individually and documents the removal decision in the written scope.

Does homeowner's insurance cover sewage backup in Marietta?

Coverage for sewage backup events in Marietta typically depends on whether your homeowner's policy includes a backup coverage rider. Standard homeowner's policies generally exclude sewer and drain backup damage unless this specific rider is included. Backup coverage riders are relatively inexpensive to add and cover most drain backup events. Our Marietta claim coordinators review your policy details and document your claim to match your specific coverage terms — including the important distinction between a backup event and a sewer line failure, which may be covered differently.

Is clearance testing required after Sewage Cleanup in Marietta?

Third-party clearance testing — air quality and surface swab sampling performed by an independent industrial hygienist — is not universally required after sewage cleanup in Marietta, but it is available and appropriate in several situations: commercial properties with regulatory requirements, rental properties where a landlord needs documented proof of remediation for tenants, situations where immunocompromised individuals occupy the property, or any case where a client wants independent verification beyond our own completion documentation. We coordinate third-party clearance testing on request and can schedule it immediately after the final sanitization cycle.

How long does Sewage Cleanup take in Marietta?

A typical Marietta sewage cleanup project runs: Day 1 for containment, extraction, and material removal; Days 1-2 for sanitization cycle (multiple applications with documented dwell times); Days 2-6 for structural drying under daily monitoring; clearance testing coordination if needed (24-48 hours for lab results); and then reconstruction, which ranges from a few days to several weeks depending on the scope of material removed. Your Marietta project manager provides a realistic timeline at the initial assessment and updates it as the drying program progresses.

Can I stay in my Marietta home during sewage cleanup?

Whether you can remain in your Marietta home during sewage cleanup depends on the contamination zone and the containment configuration our team establishes. For events confined to a basement or a single room where negative-pressure containment can isolate the remediation area from the occupied portions of the home, remaining in place is often feasible. For events that affect living areas, bedrooms, or the main floor, temporary relocation is strongly recommended during the active remediation phase — typically 1-3 days. Our Marietta project manager evaluates the specific situation and advises on habitability at the initial assessment.
