A sewage backup is the one water emergency you should never touch yourself. Category 3 water carries bacteria and pathogens that contaminate everything it reaches. Our certified crews remove it safely, disinfect thoroughly, and prove the space is clean before you use it again.

This is home base - our shop sits on Lake Avenue in Mariners Harbor, which means the fastest response times on the island for the North Shore west end. We know these blocks, the older two-family homes, and the drainage headaches that come with them.

Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Staten Island base at 318 Lake Avenue and cover all of Mariners Harbor & Port Richmond — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Mariners Harbor or read more about sewage backup cleanup.

Our Process

1

You call, we answer

Any hour, any day, a real person picks up — not a machine and not a national call center. You describe what you are looking at, and from that moment it stops being your problem to solve on your own.
2

We assess

Our crew works out how far it has really gone, including what you cannot see behind walls and under floors. You do not have to know what to look for, or guess how bad it is.
3

We do the work

What comes out, what gets dried, what can be saved — those are our calls to make, and we explain each one as we go. Readings are recorded throughout, so nothing rests on you taking our word for it.
4

You get your property back to normal

Our own team rebuilds what came out and hands the place back finished, with everything documented the way your adjuster expects it.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Mariners Harbor homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
