Not Sure Whether You Need Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage contamination may extend beyond the water you can see. Our team can inspect the affected and nearby areas and help determine whether wastewater removal, contaminated-material cleanup, sanitizing, drying, or repair support may be needed.

Signs Professional Sewage Cleanup May Be Needed

Wastewater Is Coming Through a Drain

Sewage rising through a floor drain, shower, sink, or toilet may spread contamination into nearby surfaces and materials.

More Than One Fixture Is Backing Up

Multiple toilets or drains backing up at the same time may indicate a larger sewer problem affecting the property.

You Notice a Strong Sewage Odor

A persistent sewage smell may remain after visible water is gone or point to contamination in a nearby area.

Flooring or Walls Were Affected

Wastewater that reaches carpet, flooring, baseboards, drywall, or cabinets may require more than surface cleaning.

The Water Reached Another Room

Sewage can move beneath flooring or through connected areas before the full extent of the damage becomes visible.

What Happens When You Call About Sewage Damage?

When you contact us for sewage help, our team helps you understand what to do next. We ask where the sewage entered, inspect the affected and nearby areas, explain what must be cleaned or removed, complete the approved work, and guide you through the final steps.

Sewage Help Begins With Your Call

When you call, we ask where the backup or overflow occurred, when it started, which areas were reached, and whether contaminated water is still entering the property.

We Arrange an On-Site Inspection

Our team visits the property to inspect the visible contamination and check nearby flooring, walls, cabinets, and other materials that may also be affected.

We Identify What Must Be Addressed

We determine where wastewater traveled and which materials require removal, cleaning, sanitizing, drying, or repair support.

We Explain and Complete the Approved Cleanup

We go over the findings, answer your questions, and confirm the work before beginning the authorized sewage removal and restoration service.

We Check the Area and Provide Guidance

After the work is finished, we review the cleaned and dried areas, explain what was completed, and provide practical guidance for protecting the property moving forward.

Sam and Ali were absolutely fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, they were professional, thorough, and incredibly communicative. They came out multiple times to assess the situation and provided a detailed, transparent quote that clearly outlined the scope of work—no hidden fees, no surprises. What really stood out was their honesty and the time they took to explain everything. The level of detail they provided gave us full confidence in their knowledge and capabilities. They were easy to talk to, responsive, and clearly dedicated to helping their clients understand every step of the process. If you're looking for a company that is reliable, transparent, and truly knows their stuff choose A/S general contracting. I 10/10 recommend them.

Charlene Krietzberg

The entire crew at A/S General Contracting were great! They kept me informed every step of the way. They were professional and did a great job on my restroom restoration. Magda helped me through the entire insurance process and I am so appreciative. I definitely recommend their services.

Rebecca Gomez

A/S general contractor was recommended by a friend and so glad I went with them. They were able to come in and remodel our house after a flood and it far exceeded my expectations. They turned a stressful situation to easy and stress free for us. Special shoutout to Sam, for keeping things honest and straight forward. I knew what I was getting from the get go and if I had any issues he was able to correct them within the hour. Sam is detailed oriented and you can he shows that he cares about the customers by his actions.

Chad Whitehouse

Two years after the “shoddy” work they performed we are having to completely replace the flooring. They shot pin nails into laminate flooring but that isn’t the worst part. The patchwork they used to lay a sub floor was crap. They know what they did. They all like to agree and blame the homeowner for whatever goes wrong. One tone even suggesting they because we live in a “trailer house,” the floor would never be perfect. Well now we see clearly what kind of a pieced together project they did, we now have someone who is fixing this fiasco! Don’t use them

Danette O'Quin

AS General Contacting is a great company. They repaired the water damage to my porch in a timely, professional manner. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs any type of repair!

Deborah J. Davis

Any leak damage will take time and patience. Ali, Greg and Abel were great. Good communication! Good follow through! Scheduling was clearly communicated. Every project takes time, but these guys took care of the little details. They also helped me get the most from my coverage. This is my 3rd time working with A/S Contracting. I would recommend them to anyone.

Olivia Bue

We had a major water leak that required us to file a claim through our insurance company, and our plumber referred us to A/S General. From the very beginning, Greg and Sam were incredibly helpful, guiding us through the entire process and helping expedite everything with our insurance company. Greg, Sam, and their entire team were professional, thorough, and communicative every step of the way. The construction crew consistently showed up on time, worked efficiently, and always left the work area clean at the end of each day. Thanks to their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, our home is now in even better condition than before the water leak. We highly recommend A/S General to anyone in need of home restoration or construction services. Thank you to the entire team for taking such great care of our home!

I highly recommend A/S General Contracting and will most definitely be requesting their services again. I had major water damage in my house and the repair and replacement done was outstanding. The pricing was reasonable and the worked with me in every aspect of the job. Sam Abraham was very attentive, helpful, handled everything quickly and professionally. Customer service was astonishing and they worked very quickly to get me my house back to 150%. I am beyond pleased work they did. Well made, durable and worth every penny. The service, product and overall experience was outstanding.

I just want to start of by saying that this company went an above and beyond for us to get the scope writing and administrative negotiations with our insurance.I feel we received the most money so our insurance would take care of the flood we had at our home.

Requested to do the job asap. Told Sam Abraham we have house guests coming in at the middle of the week. He sent a crew to see what needs to be done. By Monday, they started fixing the damage and late afternoon, the same day, the job was done. Sam Abraham didn't promise but he produced the result. Ben L

Had some water damage in my shower and closet due to a burst pipe leak. A/S General Contracting came in and worked with my insurance to get my shower back to peak shape. Appreciate the professionalism and communication from Sam every step of the way. When I had a question he was easily accessible. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Special thanks to Hugo as well for the good work.

The team has been on time,quick, understanding & professional. I can say a lot of people are not like that now and days. Sam and Travis were amazing at what they do. Need more good people like them. From somebody from the military nothing makes me happier than someone that is on time and staying true to their word. Continue the good work you do gentlemen.

Sam and A/S General were great to work with. Sam was very helpful in walking us through the insurance process for our water damage and was even able to get us more money then our other contractor. Sam was always available no matter how many questions I had. I would definitely recommend this company for any restoration project and Sam is by far one of the best individuals I have had to work with.

How Sewage Damage Can Spread Through San Diego Properties

San Diego includes older houses, high-rise buildings, apartments, condominiums, restaurants, offices, and mixed-use properties with different wastewater and drainage configurations. A backup in one fixture, unit, or commercial space can spread through shared flooring, lower walls, utility areas, or connected rooms.

During heavy rainfall, increased water entering sewer systems can also contribute to backup concerns in some properties. Once wastewater reaches porous materials, contamination can remain inside flooring, drywall, insulation, cabinets, and other concealed areas. We inspect beyond the original overflow to determine the appropriate extraction, removal, sanitizing, drying, and repair plan.

Areas Commonly Affected by Sewage Damage

Flooring and subflooring
Carpet and padding
Drywall and lower wall materials
Baseboards and trim
Cabinets and built-in finishes
Wall cavities and insulation
Connected rooms reached by wastewater

Sewage Cleanup FAQs for San Diego Properties

What should I do if sewage enters my property?

Keep people and pets away from the affected area and stop using toilets, sinks, and other plumbing fixtures when possible. Call us so we can inspect where the wastewater spread and explain the safest next step.

Should I call a plumber or a sewage cleanup company?

A plumber addresses the blockage, damaged pipe, or sewer-line problem causing the backup. Our restoration team handles the contaminated water, affected materials, cleaning, sanitizing, drying, and property damage left behind.

Can sewage contamination remain after the water is gone?

Yes. Wastewater may soak beneath flooring, behind baseboards, into drywall, or inside cabinets even after the surface appears dry. These areas may need closer inspection, cleaning, removal, or drying.

Can you provide documentation for my insurance claim?

Yes. We can photograph the affected areas, document contaminated and damaged materials, prepare information about the recommended work, and communicate with your insurance adjuster to help simplify the process.

Can AS General repair the property after sewage cleanup?

Yes. After the contaminated areas are cleaned and dried, our team can help with approved repairs or reconstruction involving drywall, flooring, cabinets, baseboards, and other affected materials.
