Sewage Cleanup for New Braunfels Homeowners
A sewage backup is not just a plumbing problem. It is a health emergency that demands immediate professional action.

Our team understands the urgency that comes with these situations.

If you need sewage cleanup handled by experienced, IICRC-certified technicians, we are available day and night to respond.
What’s Included in Our Sewage Cleanup Service
When you call Complete Flood Restoration, you get more than someone with a mop and a bucket. Our sewage cleanup service covers full extraction, disinfection, structural drying, and documentation, everything needed to resolve the contamination and protect your property long-term.
Sewage Extraction and Contaminated Material Removal
We use truck-mounted and portable extraction units to remove standing sewage water and waste from affected areas as quickly as possible. Any porous materials that have absorbed Category 3 contamination, including carpet, insulation, and drywall, are safely bagged, removed, and disposed of according to Texas health and safety regulations. Stopping the spread early prevents deeper damage to your subfloor and structural framing.
EPA-Registered Disinfection and Odor Treatment
Every contaminated surface is treated with EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions designed to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and mold spores left behind by sewage. We apply disinfectants to hard surfaces, wall cavities, and HVAC components that may have been exposed. Odor-counteracting treatments are also applied so your home does not carry the smell of sewage after the job is complete.
Structural Drying and Moisture Verification
After extraction and disinfection, high-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers run continuously until all affected building materials reach safe moisture levels. We monitor readings daily and provide documentation showing drying progress, which is valuable for your insurance claim. Once final moisture readings confirm the area is dry, we conduct a clearance check before closing out the job.

Signs You Need Professional Sewage Cleanup in New Braunfels
Not every sewage problem announces itself with a dramatic flood. New Braunfels homeowners often miss early warning signs that a serious backup is developing, especially in homes with aging sewer lines or properties built near areas with high groundwater activity along the Guadalupe and Comal rivers.
Sewage Backing Up Into Tubs, Sinks, or Floor Drains
When wastewater starts pushing back up through your lowest fixtures, it typically signals a blockage or collapse somewhere in your main sewer line. This is a Category 3 contamination event and requires professional extraction and disinfection, not just a plumber to clear the line. Leaving contaminated water sitting on your floors even for a few hours accelerates material damage and mold growth.
Foul Odors From Drains in Older New Braunfels Properties
Homes built in the older neighborhoods near downtown New Braunfels and the Landa Park area frequently have cast iron or clay sewer lines that are prone to root intrusion and cracking over time. A persistent sewage smell from your drains, even without visible backup, can indicate contaminated water is already seeping into your crawl space or slab. Our water damage repair and inspection services can identify whether moisture is already present in areas you cannot see.
Flooding After Heavy Rainfall Events
New Braunfels sits in the Texas Hill Country flash flood corridor, and intense rain events can overwhelm municipal sewer systems and cause backups in homes throughout the city. When stormwater mixes with sewage and enters your home through floor drains or cleanouts, the contamination level is just as dangerous as a direct backup. This type of event also benefits from a combined approach that includes flood cleanup alongside sewage remediation.
Do not wait to call if you notice any of these signs. The longer contaminated water sits, the more damage it does to your floors, walls, and framing.
Our Sewage Cleanup Process for New Braunfels Homes
Schedule Your Emergency Response Call
Call our team as soon as you discover a sewage issue in your New Braunfels home. We operate around the clock and prioritize sewage emergencies due to the health risks involved. You will speak directly with a knowledgeable team member who can guide you on immediate safety steps while a technician is dispatched to your address.
Evaluate the Extent of Contamination
Our certified technicians arrive and conduct a full assessment using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual inspection to map every area affected by sewage contamination. We check under flooring, inside wall cavities, and around HVAC vents to ensure nothing is missed. This detailed evaluation determines what materials can be saved and what must be removed, and it forms the basis of the insurance documentation we provide.
Extract, Disinfect, and Dry All Affected Areas
We remove all sewage waste and contaminated materials, apply EPA-registered disinfectants to every affected surface, and set up commercial drying equipment to bring moisture levels back to normal. Our team also coordinates with mold remediation services if any mold growth is discovered during the cleanup process. Every phase is documented with photos and moisture logs for your insurance carrier.
Conduct Final Clearance and Review Documentation
Before we close out the job, a final inspection confirms that all moisture readings are within safe range and no residual contamination remains. We walk you through the completed work, review all documentation, and make sure you have everything needed for your insurance claim. If reconstruction is required, our water damage reconstruction team can handle repairs to drywall, flooring, and framing so your home is fully restored.
