These are the standards Trauma Clean Pros holds on every Sewage Cleanup call in Shepherd, from extraction through final drying.
Certification and insurance travel with every Shepherd technician on every Sewage Cleanup job, no exceptions.
Our Shepherd dispatch pulls from the nearest available crew, not a distant regional hub.
A written price is provided after on-site assessment, and it stays the same once the crew begins extraction.
Every Shepherd crew carries the equipment IICRC S500 protocols call for on a Category 3 water job.
Every Sewage Cleanup job gets scoped after assessing contamination extent, since backup source and duration both affect the right approach.
We extract blackwater first, before any other remediation step, to stop the contamination from spreading further.
Carpet, padding, drywall, and insulation that absorbed blackwater are removed, since Category 3 water makes porous materials unsalvageable.
Antimicrobial treatment follows removal on every job, since bacteria remain a risk even after visible water is gone.
We track drying progress with moisture meters rather than guessing when a structure is actually dry.
Technicians assess likely backup causes — tree root intrusion, municipal line issues, or sump pump failure — to help prevent recurrence.
Odor treatment is the final step, applied only after the underlying contamination has been fully addressed.
Call +1-844-401-0166 and a dispatcher asks about the extent of the backup and affected areas before a crew is routed.
Once scoped by phone, the nearest available crew heads to your Shepherd location as fast as possible.
On-site, the crew confirms scope and likely backup cause, then gives a firm price before beginning extraction.
The job closes with a walkthrough and written report, and we return at no charge if a follow-up check finds anything unresolved.

Trauma Clean Pros dispatches Sewage Cleanup crews throughout Shepherd and the broader Shepherd, MI region, positioned to reach most addresses within the hour.
Most Shepherd calls see an on-site crew within 60 to 90 minutes, since sewage backups are treated as emergencies.
Every job gets a flat-rate quote up front, and that number doesn't change once we start.
Industry standards don't allow treating blackwater-soaked porous material in place — it has to be removed for safety.
Many homeowner's policies cover sewage backup remediation under specific circumstances, and we supply documentation adjusters typically request.
Drying typically runs two to four days with industrial equipment, tracked with moisture readings until levels return to normal.
Common causes include tree root intrusion into sewer lines, municipal line failures, and sump pump failure during heavy rain.
