Sewage Cleanup & Sanitation in NYC

A sewage backup is a health hazard, not a mop-up job. Watson's removes it safely, sanitizes the space and fixes what caused it across Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.

What We Do

Cleaned, sanitized and made safe again

Sewage water carries bacteria, viruses and contaminants that make a backup unsafe to handle on your own. Watson's removes the sewage, disposes of unsalvageable materials, then cleans, disinfects and deodorizes the space — and as licensed master plumbers, we clear the blockage or backup that caused it. Honest up-front pricing and a fix-it-right-the-first-time guarantee since 1996.

Sewage cleanup FAQs

Is a sewage backup dangerous?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria, viruses and other contaminants, so it's not a DIY cleanup. Keep people and pets away from the area and call (212) 368-3434 — Watson's handles it safely across Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.
What does sewage cleanup and sanitation include?
We remove the sewage and contaminated water, dispose of unsalvageable materials, then clean, disinfect and deodorize the area. We also clear the blockage or backup that caused it and dry the space.
How fast can you respond to a sewage backup?
Our team is ready Mon–Sat and we dispatch the nearest crew, because sewage is a health hazard that shouldn't sit. The sooner we start, the safer and less damaging it is.
Can you stop the backup from happening again?
Yes. As licensed master plumbers we find and fix the cause — a clogged line, failed pump or sewer issue — not just the mess, and back it with our fix-it-right-the-first-time guarantee.
