A sewage backup is the most hazardous water loss a Pomona home can have. Category 3 black water carries bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants, so it is not something to clean up with a mop and a bucket. Whether it came up through a floor drain, backed out of a toilet, or flooded in from a main line, our restoration crews treat it as a health hazard from the first minute, with the right protective gear, disinfection, and disposal.
What causes sewage backups in Pomona
Backups in the Inland Valley usually trace to one of a few sources:
- A blocked or collapsed sewer lateral, often from tree roots in older Pomona neighborhoods
- A city main surcharge during a heavy winter storm
- Grease, wipes, and debris clogging an aging line
- Storm water overwhelming the system and backing up through floor drains
When storm flooding and a backup happen together, we handle it as both a storm flood and a sewage loss, because both the water and the contamination have to be dealt with.
How we clean up sewage safely
Safety and disinfection drive every step, so our restoration team:
- Sets up containment and works in full protective gear to keep contamination from spreading
- Extracts the black water and removes porous materials that cannot be disinfected
- Cleans and disinfects every affected surface with professional antimicrobials
- Deodorizes, then dries the structure to a verified standard and documents the loss
Do not touch it, and stay clear
Sewage is a genuine health risk, and the CDC and EPA both explain why contaminated water and the materials it touches need careful handling and disposal. Keep children and pets well away, do not run water that drains into the affected line, and let a trained crew handle the removal and disinfection.

FAQ
Sewage cleanup questions, answered in Pomona
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Pomona restoration team is standing by 24/7.
(909) 324-3358 Call nowIs sewage backup really that dangerous?
Yes. Category 3 black water carries bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, and the materials it soaks, like carpet, pad, and drywall, usually cannot be disinfected and must be removed. It needs protective gear and professional handling, not a household cleanup.
What can be saved after a sewage backup?
Hard, non-porous surfaces can usually be cleaned and disinfected. Porous materials that soaked up the contamination, such as carpet, pad, drywall, and particleboard, generally have to be removed and replaced. We save what can be safely saved and remove the rest.
Does insurance cover sewage cleanup in Pomona?
Sewer and drain backup is often a separate rider rather than part of a standard homeowners policy, so it depends on your coverage. We document the loss thoroughly and bill your carrier directly for what is covered, and tell you straight what to expect.
How do you get rid of the sewage smell?
After removing the contaminated materials and disinfecting every surface, we deodorize with professional equipment that neutralizes the odor at the source rather than masking it, then dry the structure. When we finish, the smell is gone.
What does sewage cleanup cost in Pomona?
Most sewage losses run $2,000 to $10,000 or more, set by how far the contamination spread and how much porous material must be removed. A contained backup on hard surfaces is at the low end; wide contamination with rebuild is at the high end.
