The Brief
Sewage Events Leave a Microbial Signature
Sewage backups, overflows, plumbing failures, and storm-water intrusion all leave behind a recognizable microbial signature. A targeted indicator-organism panel separates a real sewage event from other moisture or biological contamination.
The same panel supports the restoration scope, the insurance file, and the post-remediation clearance decision when occupants are waiting to come back.
The Workflow
Built for Restoration and Insurance Timelines
Restoration crews and adjusters work against the clock. We aim intake, analysis, and reporting at that timeline, so the indicator data lands while the file is still open and the scope is still being written.
Every report ties indicator results back to the categories restoration professionals already use, so it slots into your existing IICRC scope or adjuster narrative without translation.
- Indicator-panel selection matched to the event type
- Documented chain of custody on every sample
- Reports written for restoration, insurance, and counsel
- Rapid intake when occupancy decisions are pending
Why Run a Sewage Screen Panel?
Four reasons teams send a sewage indicator panel to our lab after a loss.
Confirm Source of Contamination
Differentiate sewage intrusion from other moisture or biological events when the cause is in question.
Insurance and Litigation Support
Defensible data for property claims, restoration scopes, and liability disputes after a sewage event.
Post-Remediation Verification
Confirm that cleaning and sanitization restored the space to baseline before reoccupation.
Health and Safety
Sewage carries bacterial, viral, and parasitic hazards. Lab analysis quantifies the exposure your team is managing.
Sample Types
From Surface Swabs to Saturated Drywall
Sample Types We Process
Surface Wipe Samples
Confirm or rule out sewage indicator organisms on flooring, walls, fixtures, and contents after a backup or overflow.
Bulk Material Samples
Carpet, drywall, insulation, and other porous materials suspected of sewage saturation.
Water Samples
Standing water, condensate, and intrusion samples following a plumbing failure or weather event.
Post-Remediation Verification
Clearance sampling after sanitization confirms the space is safe to reoccupy.
