Sewage backups and drain overflows in Touchet 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 Touchet 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 — Touchet Sewage ResponseThe four factors that make our Touchet 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 Touchet team is certified. The difference is measurable.
Sewage-contaminated materials removed from Touchet properties — carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and any porous material that absorbed Category 3 water — require regulated waste handling and disposal. Our Touchet crew bags, labels, and disposes of all contaminated material to applicable WA 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 Touchet 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 Touchet — 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 Touchet sewage job.
Extracting Category 3 sewage water from a Touchet 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 WA biohazard material regulations.
Sanitization happens before drying equipment is staged. This sequence matters.
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 Touchet 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.
Most WA homeowner's policies cover sewage backup events under a backup coverage rider. Our Touchet 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 Touchet 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.
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.



"We have a young child and a dog and the moment the sewage smell hit I knew this was something I couldn't handle myself. COS Water Damage Restoration's Touchet team was there in under 60 minutes, contained the area so our family could stay in the upper floors, and handled every part of the cleanup in a way I trusted. The clearance testing they coordinated at the end gave me documented proof that the remediation was complete."
"Three years later, no odor, no mold, no recurring issues. COS Water Damage Restoration did the Touchet 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 Touchet, 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."
