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.

Local knowledge
Sewage Mold Remediation for Granite City, IL homes
Sewage Mold Remediation in Granite City tends to start the same way mold does across Madison County: bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms in Granite City where everyday humidity has nowhere to go. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Madison, Venice, Brooklyn and the rest of Granite City call us.
We handle sewage mold remediation for Granite City 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 East Alton, about 20 minutes from our East Alton base, so we can usually reach a Granite City home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

For a home in this area, sewage mold remediation starts with finding the moisture, because the water is what feeds the mold.

Good to know
Sewage Mold Remediation in Granite City, IL: 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.
Do I need to leave my Granite City home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Granite City home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
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.

Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Madison County.
