Sewage backups and drain overflows in Nordheim 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 Nordheim 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 — Nordheim Sewage ResponseThe four factors that make our Nordheim 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 Nordheim team is certified. The difference is measurable.
Sewage-contaminated materials removed from Nordheim properties — carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and any porous material that absorbed Category 3 water — require regulated waste handling and disposal. Our Nordheim crew bags, labels, and disposes of all contaminated material to applicable TX regulatory requirements. No dumping in standard refuse. No leaving contaminated materials in dumpsters that aren't rated for biohazard waste.
One application of sanitizer after a sewage event is not sufficient. Our protocol uses multiple applications with documented dwell times.
Sewage cleanup claims in Nordheim typically proceed under homeowner's policy coverage for drain backup and water damage. Our Nordheim coordinators are experienced with backup coverage riders and know how to document Category 3 events for claim approval. For commercial properties or clients requiring clearance testing, we coordinate third-party air quality and surface sampling after remediation to provide a written clearance certificate before reconstruction begins.
COS Water Damage Restoration handles the complete scope of Sewage Cleanup in Nordheim — from containment and extraction through material removal, sanitization, structural drying, and rebuild. Category 3 protocols, start to finish.
Containment is established before extraction begins. This is non-negotiable on every Nordheim sewage job.
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 Nordheim 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 Nordheim team follows is designed to address the pathogen load that Category 3 water deposits on structural surfaces.
Odor neutralization is a final treatment step, not a product sprayed at the end to cover incomplete remediation.
Most TX homeowner's policies cover sewage backup events under a backup coverage rider. Our Nordheim claim coordinators are familiar with the specific documentation that backup claims require — including the distinction between backup events (covered) and sewer line failures (may require separate coverage) — and build your claim file from the first day to match what your carrier's adjuster will look for. We file the claim, coordinate the adjuster visit, and follow the settlement through. You focus on your household; we handle the insurance.
After Category 3 remediation is confirmed complete by instrument readings and — where required — by third-party clearance testing, our licensed Nordheim reconstruction team rebuilds your property: new drywall, fresh insulation, flooring, paint, trim, and any affected cabinetry or millwork. All reconstruction is performed to the same documentation standard as the remediation phase, providing a complete recovery record from sewage event to finished property that your insurance carrier and any future property transaction will find clear and complete.


Sewage events require immediate evacuation of affected areas. Our dispatcher will confirm this on the call.
Our Nordheim crew arrives in full Category 3 PPE with containment materials, dedicated contaminated-water extraction equipment, and sanitization products. Containment is established before extraction begins — no exceptions. After containment, we identify the source of the backup and coordinate correction if needed before the cleanup scope is assessed.
After initial containment and source control, our Nordheim project manager assesses the full Category 3 contamination extent, identifies all materials requiring removal, and prepares a written Xactimate-based scope covering extraction, material removal, sanitization, structural drying, and reconstruction. You review the scope and the cost before any material removal or treatment begins. If insurance is involved, the claim is filed the same day.
From sewage event to finished property — documented, guaranteed, and handled by one company.



"When our basement drain backed up in Nordheim, 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 Nordheim sewage cleanup right the first time. I'm telling every neighbor I know to call them first."
"Managing a rental property in Nordheim means sewage backups occasionally happen, and the response you choose matters enormously because you have tenant health and habitability on the line. COS Water Damage Restoration handled a Category 3 event at one of our properties with complete transparency — documented scope before work started, clear removal decisions explained in writing, and a clearance certificate at the end that we could show our tenant as proof the property was properly remediated. The insurance claim was settled without any dispute."
