When a Plumbing Backup Requires Professional Sewage Cleanup

Wastewater may spread farther than the visible overflow and leave contamination behind after the standing water is gone. We inspect the affected and surrounding materials to determine whether removal, sanitizing, drying, or repair work is needed.

Signs Professional Sewage Cleanup May Be Needed

Wastewater Is Rising From a Drain

Water coming through a floor drain, shower, sink, or toilet may contain contaminants and spread quickly across nearby surfaces.

Several Fixtures Are Backing Up

Multiple slow or overflowing drains may indicate a larger blockage affecting more than one part of the property.

A Sewage Odor Remains

A persistent sewer smell after the overflow is stopped may point to contaminated moisture or affected materials that still need attention.

Flooring or Walls Were Reached

Wastewater that touches carpet, padding, subflooring, baseboards, drywall, insulation, or cabinets usually requires more than surface cleaning.

Contaminated Water Entered Another Room

Sewage can travel beneath flooring and through connected areas before the full extent of the contamination becomes visible.

What Happens When You Call About Sewage Damage?

When you contact us about a backup or overflow, we help you understand what to do next. We ask where the wastewater entered, inspect the affected and surrounding areas, explain what needs removal or cleaning, complete the approved work, and guide you through the final restoration steps.

We Learn What Happened

When you call, we ask where the sewage entered, when the problem started, which fixtures were involved, and whether contaminated water is still entering the property.

We Inspect the Affected Areas

Our team checks the visible contamination and nearby flooring, walls, cabinets, adjoining rooms, and other materials wastewater may have reached.

We Prepare the Cleanup Plan

We determine what requires wastewater removal, controlled material removal, cleaning, sanitizing, odor treatment, structural drying, or repair.

We Complete the Approved Cleanup

After reviewing the findings with you, we perform the authorized sewage removal and cleanup while keeping the affected work area controlled.

We Review the Cleaned Area and Next Steps

Once cleanup and drying are complete, we explain what was accomplished and coordinate any approved repairs needed to restore the property.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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 Backups Can Affect Escondido Properties

Escondido includes older homes, newer developments, apartments, rental properties, and commercial buildings with different plumbing and drainage layouts. Blocked private sewer lines, damaged pipes, overflowing fixtures, or backups in shared systems can allow contaminated water to enter bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and adjoining spaces.

In multi-story or attached properties, wastewater may move through plumbing openings, shared walls, ceilings, and flooring assemblies before the complete affected area becomes visible. Homes with slab foundations may also have contamination spread beneath flooring and into lower wall materials, making a careful inspection important before cleanup begins.

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
