Sewage backups and drain overflows in Burleson are among the most hazardous water damage events a property can experience. Category 3 black water — raw sewage, backed-up drain lines, toilet overflows — carries bacteria, viruses, and pathogens at concentrations that make any contact a serious health risk. COS Water Damage Restoration's Burleson sewage cleanup team is trained, equipped, and certified under IICRC S520 protocols for Category 3 biohazard remediation — from containment through full restoration.
📞 Call +1-844-499-0972 — Burleson Sewage ResponseThe four factors that make our Burleson Sewage Cleanup service different from a general water damage company handling a sewage call.
IICRC certification is the standard that defines whether a sewage cleanup was done correctly. Our Burleson team is certified. The difference is measurable.
Proper disposal is a regulatory requirement, not a premium upgrade. It's standard on every Burleson job.
One application of sanitizer after a sewage event is not sufficient. Our protocol uses multiple applications with documented dwell times.
Our Burleson claim coordinators handle the insurance piece. We can coordinate clearance testing when it's required.
Here's what our certified Burleson Sewage Cleanup crew handles on every job.
The first action our Burleson sewage crew takes on any Category 3 event is establishing negative-pressure containment — critical plastic sheeting barriers that prevent sewage contamination from spreading into unaffected areas of the property through airborne particles, foot traffic, and air circulation. Containment also controls odor migration within the property while remediation is underway. Simultaneously, we identify and coordinate the correction of the blockage or failure that caused the backup — whether that's a main line obstruction, a failed cleanout, or a sump failure — so that remediation isn't interrupted by a secondary event.
No material gets dried in place unless it passes decontamination protocol first.
After material removal, every remaining structural surface — framing, subfloor sheathing, masonry, concrete, and any hard surface that contacted sewage water in your Burleson property — receives a multi-phase sanitization treatment using EPA-registered, hospital-grade antimicrobial and antifungal agents. The sanitization sequence includes spray application, documented dwell time, surface contact, and at minimum one additional application after the first dwell cycle. This is not a one-spray process. The S520 protocol our Burleson team follows is designed to address the pathogen load that Category 3 water deposits on structural surfaces.
Category 3 sewage events leave odor-causing compounds embedded in structural materials, in the air space above the affected area, and — in HVAC systems — potentially distributed throughout the property. Our Burleson team uses hydroxyl generator technology and botanical-based counteractant treatments to neutralize sewage odor compounds in the air and on surfaces, not mask them. For properties where HVAC ductwork may have been exposed to Category 3 contamination, duct isolation and decontamination is included in our scope evaluation.
Our Burleson claim coordinators have processed Category 3 claims across TX carriers. We know what gets approved on first submission.
One company from sewage backup to finished reconstruction. No coordination gap, no separate contractor handoff.


Call +1-844-499-0972 and a live Burleson dispatcher answers — not a recording. Describe the situation; our dispatcher confirms the sewage backup details, dispatches the nearest Category 3-equipped crew, and confirms estimated arrival. Evacuate the affected area and prevent household members and pets from entering while we're en route.
Containment before contact. Source identified and addressed before cleanup proceeds.
No extraction, no material removal before the written scope is reviewed and approved by you.
From sewage event to finished property — documented, guaranteed, and handled by one company.



"When our basement drain backed up in Burleson, I didn't realize I was dealing with a sewage event until the smell made it obvious. COS Water Damage Restoration arrived within the hour, set up containment before anyone entered the space, and explained the Category 3 protocols clearly — including why certain materials had to be removed and couldn't just be dried in place. They disposed of everything properly, treated all surfaces with a sanitization protocol I could actually track through each step, and filed the insurance claim the same day. The reconstruction brought the basement back completely. I feel good about the space now, and that was not a given after the event."
"Three years later, no odor, no mold, no recurring issues. COS Water Damage Restoration did the Burleson sewage cleanup right the first time. I'm telling every neighbor I know to call them first."
"I've used general contractors for water damage before with mixed results. After calling COS Water Damage Restoration for a sewage event in Burleson, I understand the difference between a certified Category 3 remediation team and a general restoration company that 'also does sewage.' The protocols aren't comparable."
