Flooded Basement Co.
Basement Sewage Cleanup in Des Moines, IA
Safe cleanup of sewage and contaminated water backups in your Des Moines basement.
A sewage or drain backup into a basement is not just water, it is a health concern. This is category 3 water that can carry bacteria and other contaminants, so containment and sanitizing come first. Flooded Basement Co. handles contaminated basement backups for Des Moines-area homeowners with the right precautions.
Why it is handled differently
Contaminated water requires isolating the area, removing the water and heavily affected porous materials, and thorough sanitizing, rather than simply drying it out. Decisions about what can be saved are made with health in mind.
- Keep people and pets out of the affected basement.
- Do not run household fans over the contaminated water.
- Avoid contact with the water and anything it has touched.

Good to know
What should I do first?
Keep everyone out of the basement and call for cleanup. Because it is a health matter, it is best not to handle a sewage backup yourself.
