Sewage Damage Removal
What makes us San Francisco Bay Area #1
(Here is what REAL PEOPLE have to say – Click on their name to read the Yelp and Google Review.)
When your home is exposed to black water either through sewage backup, toilet backup, or sewer leak; special measures are required. This type of water damage is considered as category 3, black water damage.
Unlike clean water, sewage damage is a biohazard “grossly contaminated and can contain pathogenic, toxigenic or other harmful agents”. Any sewage damage on carpet, hardwood floor, tile or even at the crawl space should be cleaned as soon as possible in order to prevent cross contamination of bacteria and viruses such as E-coli to other unaffected areas and reduce health risks.
According to the IICRC S500 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration, sewage clean up should be done only by experienced and trained technicians equipped with full protective suits, gloves, masks, and using special machines such as air scrubbers and dehumidifier.
The restorer must remove and dispose of any affected material such as drywall, insulation, carpet and pad. By simply drying these materials and leaving them in place can result in harmful agents being left in the area.
SWIFT Restoration uses state of the art equipment and procedures for optimal cleaning.
What To Do If You Have Sewage Backup or Leak
If you suffer a sewage backup, toilet backup, or sewer leak, in either your home, office, residential or commercial property, Safety needs to be top priority.

Ido came by today, and after seeing our first issue he told us that our problem was too extensive for Swift to work on. Despite this, he took the time to go through the rest of the property with us to address our concerns and provide an estimate for what the work should cost. He also noticed new details that our inspectors hadn’t caught. He gave us references for remediation companies that operate at the scale that we need and answered all the questions we had about the remediation process and what we will need to do. He also told us he’d answer any further questions we had, and not to hesitate to reach out to him by phone or by email, even though he would not be doing any work for us.
All said, Ido went beyond what would have been expected of him and gave us a thorough estimation, and made himself accessible to us even though Swift was not the correct resource for our problem. We’re thankful to have had him come look at the property, and would recommend his character and service!

Michael arrived on time wearing a mask. After evaluating basement ceiling following a widespread upstairs bathroom leak, he communicated to me that we didn’t need his services and instructed me how to deal with a minor issue. I am very grateful for his honest, generous advice.

Just backing up what others have said. Ido came to our house to do a competitive bid on a remediation job. He did some moisture readings (which the other company did not do) and basically said we didn’t need his services. He suggested another course of action that made a lot of sense, and then left without collecting a dime.
Ido is friendly, professional, and clearly has the highest integrity.
5/5
Ido’s honest, professional opinion on his free visit saved me thousands of dollars. We had a mold report from a respected mold testing service that was concerning. Ido came to see about a remediation and saw no real signs of mold in the area we were worried about. He gave us suggestions of what else could have caused the original report results and what we could do before beginning any major remediation work. After these easy fixes we did ourselves, the same testing company retested with no dangerous mold detected. So even though we did not use their services, I would trust Swift with any remediation work if the need arose.

I recently had them to do some mold remediation in our basement bathroom and am very pleased with the work that they did. They go the extra mile and genuinely care about their customers and their health, no doubt! In the end, there was only mold in the carpeting (yes, someone had installed carpet in this bathroom), and I can rest easy knowing that it’s all cleaned up and there was no evidence of mold elsewhere.

I needed to have mold remediation done in a rental home I own and had no idea where to begin. I found Swift Restoration online and called. They were great – the contractor kept me updated and the tenants informed.
Their crew did a wonderful job removing the mold without wrecking the place. My tenants even commented on how polite their crew. I highly recommend them.
