Sewage backups and drain overflows in Marietta 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 Marietta 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 — Marietta Sewage ResponseThe four factors that make our Marietta Sewage Cleanup service different from a general water damage company handling a sewage call.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Marietta sewage cleanup crew operates under IICRC S520 standard — the industry's governing protocol for Category 3 contaminated water remediation. This covers the specific containment requirements, the PPE standards that protect our crew from pathogen exposure, the material removal requirements (what can be safely dried versus what must be removed and disposed of as a regulated waste stream), and the multi-application antimicrobial sanitization protocol that must be completed before any structural drying begins.
Sewage-contaminated materials removed from Marietta properties — carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and any porous material that absorbed Category 3 water — require regulated waste handling and disposal. Our Marietta crew bags, labels, and disposes of all contaminated material to applicable OK 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.
Our Marietta claim coordinators handle the insurance piece. We can coordinate clearance testing when it's required.
COS Water Damage Restoration handles the complete scope of Sewage Cleanup in Marietta — 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 Marietta sewage job.
Extracting Category 3 sewage water from a Marietta property requires specific PPE — full protective suits, respirators rated for biological hazard, and disposable boots — for every technician in the contamination zone. We use dedicated contaminated-water extraction equipment that is not shared with standard water damage jobs and is properly sanitized between uses. After extraction, all materials that contacted Category 3 water and cannot be decontaminated to a safe standard — carpet, pad, standard drywall, fiberglass insulation, and any non-cleanable surface materials — are removed as regulated waste, bagged in approved containers, and disposed of under OK biohazard material regulations.
After material removal, every remaining structural surface — framing, subfloor sheathing, masonry, concrete, and any hard surface that contacted sewage water in your Marietta 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 Marietta 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.
Our Marietta claim coordinators have processed Category 3 claims across OK carriers. We know what gets approved on first submission.
One company from sewage backup to finished reconstruction. No coordination gap, no separate contractor handoff.


Sewage events require immediate evacuation of affected areas. Our dispatcher will confirm this on the call.
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 Marietta, 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."
"The thing that stood out with COS Water Damage Restoration's Marietta sewage cleanup team was the containment setup — I've seen other companies skip it or do it loosely, and you can tell they don't understand why it matters. This team had proper negative-pressure containment up before they extracted a gallon of water. The two-phase sanitization after material removal, the hydroxyl generator running during drying, the final surface swab coordination — this was a Category 3 remediation done to the actual standard, not a watered-down version of it."
"I've used general contractors for water damage before with mixed results. After calling COS Water Damage Restoration for a sewage event in Marietta, 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."
