Denver’s Emergency Sewage Cleanup Experts
Raw sewage in your home isn’t a plumbing issue-it’s a public health incident. At HRS Restoration Services, we treat every backup with containment-level urgency: 60-minute response, hospital-grade biocides, and HEPA filtration to stop pathogen migration before it spreads beyond the source.
Why Capitol Hill? Why Five Points? Because Denver’s oldest sewer mains-many laid before 1950-crack under spring pressure, flooding basements with Category 3 waste. We don’t wait for visible water; we trace odors, map moisture, and scrub air until your space tests clean.
When sewage hits your Denver property, you deserve more than mops and buckets. You deserve certified containment, full sanitization, and a team that won’t leave until your normal is restored. Call (303) 241-7849 now - 24/7 emergency response guaranteed.

Facing a Sewage Emergency?
Emergency Sewage Cleanup Outcomes
92% of our sewage cleanups finish in under 24 hours -not because we rush, but because we’re prepared. Jeremy S. saw it firsthand during a school emergency: “They completed ahead of schedule!” Precision beats speed when pathogens are involved.
Unlike general water damage, sewage incidents require strict biocontainment. That’s why we use ATP swab testing, negative air machines, and antimicrobial sealants - ensuring complete pathogen elimination, typically within 24 to 48 hours.

Why Sewage Backups Happen
Common Causes of Sewage Backups
in Denver Homes
Even in Denver’s semi-arid climate, sewage backups spike between March and May due to snowmelt overloading aging combined sewer systems. In areas like Baker and Sunnyside, where pipes exceed 50 years old, preventive inspections can reduce emergency risk by up to 70%.
Aging Sewer Lines
Denver’s century-old clay sewer lines - common in Capitol Hill and Berkeley - crack under pressure, causing raw sewage to back up into basements and floor drains.
Storm Overload
Heavy spring rains overwhelm Denver’s older combined sewer systems, forcing waste to reverse into homes via toilets and basement drains.
Sump Pump Failure
Power outages or clogs disable sump pumps in Wash Park and Baker - leading to sewage-filled basement floods during storms.
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots infiltrate sewer pipes in Park Hill and City Park - blocking flow and causing toilets to overflow with raw sewage.
SEWER OVERFLOWS
Sewer main breaks along major corridors like Colfax or Broadway can flood entire blocks with raw sewage - requiring immediate emergency response.

24/7 Emergency Sewage Cleanup in Denver
When sewage backs up, waiting isn’t just risky - it’s dangerous. HRS provides 24/7 emergency sewage cleanup across Denver, responding within 60 minutes or less to any call - day or night - with full containment and rapid mitigation.
Whether a collapsed sewer line floods a multi-family unit in RiNo, a toilet overflows in a LoDo restaurant, or a sump pump fails in a Cherry Creek home, our certified technicians are on standby. We use industrial extractors, antimicrobial fogging, and real-time moisture monitoring to eliminate contamination fast.
In Denver, sewage backups aren’t random - they’re the result of 70-year-old clay lines meeting rapid snowmelt. That’s why our local crews don’t just clean; they contain, sanitize, and verify. We stay on-site until ATP testing confirms your home is pathogen-free - because “dry” isn’t enough when raw sewage is involved.

"Mike, Daniel and team squeezed us in after coming home at night to a sewer backup and they stayed until midnight to clear it out. They did a wonderful job and are caring, responsive and take pride in their work. I would recommend them to my friends and family."

"Daniel was great! He had to come to our new build on Saturday night because our plumber’s were negligent and we had sewer water everywhere. We were upset but he came in and turned our night around. Would recommend this company! Very diligent!"

"My mom had a sewer back up on Saturday 11/2, while this was being fixed, Daniel, Derek, and Coyote came out to help with the clean up. Everything was taken care of within a few days and they provided an in depth report for our insurance company. Highly recommend for immediate service and mitigation"

Frequently Asked Questions
Sewage emergencies raise urgent questions. Here are the answers Denver homeowners trust.
What should I do if my basement is flooded with sewage?
Evacuate immediately, avoid contact, and call HRS at (303) 241-7849 - never attempt cleanup yourself, as raw sewage carries pathogens requiring certified handling.
Is sewage backup covered by homeowners insurance in Denver?
Yes, most policies cover sudden backups from storms or line breaks, and HRS works directly with insurers to document damage and ensure proper claim filing.
How much does it cost to clean up a sewage backup in Denver?
Most residential cleanups range from $1,800 to $5,000 depending on contamination level, square footage, and required sanitization - we provide free assessments with no hidden fees.
Can sewage flooding make you sick?
Yes - raw sewage contains E. coli, hepatitis, and other pathogens; HRS uses ATP testing and hospital-grade disinfectants to ensure your space is pathogen-free.
How long does sewage cleanup take in a Denver home?
Most jobs are completed within 24 to 48 hours, including extraction, sanitization, deodorization, and final verification - faster response means less damage.
Do you offer emergency sewage cleanup on weekends or holidays?
Yes - HRS is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays, because sewage emergencies don’t wait, and neither do we.
Are your technicians trained for raw sewage removal?
Yes - all HRS technicians are IICRC-certified and trained in Category 3 water damage response, including containment, PPE protocols, and antimicrobial treatment.
Will sewage damage lead to mold in my Denver basement?
Yes - moisture from sewage can grow mold in as little as 24-48 hours; we act fast, dry thoroughly, and apply antimicrobial sealants to prevent regrowth.
What causes sewer backups in older Denver neighborhoods like Capitol Hill?
Aging clay pipes, tree root intrusion, and spring snowmelt overwhelm century-old sewer lines - homes built before 1970 are at higher risk.
How can I prevent sewage backup in my Denver property?
Install a backwater valve, maintain your sump pump, avoid flushing wipes or grease, and schedule a sewer line inspection every 2–3 years - especially in high-risk areas.
