Sewage cleanup in Lewisville: calls answered 24/7

What changes the job in Lewisville

Sewage cleanup in Lewisville often starts in an apartment. Census figures show 41% of homes are in buildings with 5 or more units and 53% are rented, against 22% and 35% across Denton County. In those buildings a blocked shared drain backs up into the lowest unit on the line, often through a tub or shower, while people upstairs keep running water and make it worse. The tenant usually cannot reach the cleanout, so the first call goes to the property manager to stop the flow and send a plumber.

The houses are newer, with 14% built before 1980, so a backup is more often a blockage from grease, wipes or roots than a collapsed old pipe. Rain adds to it. The city averages 12 days a year with an inch of rain or more, and Denton County logged 28 days with flash flood or flood reports from 2016 to 2025. Floodwater that enters a home is treated as Category 3 as well. NOAA climate normals also show 42 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, and a frozen drain line can back up into the lowest fixture.

Everything that sewage touched is treated as Category 3. The restoration crew's first checks are whether the line is still backing up, whether a plumber has cleared it and how far the water spread under flooring, cabinets and drywall. It sets containment, removes and bags porous materials such as carpet, pad and lower drywall, and cleans and disinfects hard surfaces before drying begins.

Ask the crew to state the category on the written estimate, list what it will remove and share the moisture readings it uses to judge the area dry. Rooms nearby that took only clean water may need just water mitigation. Renters in the Lewisville area should check whether their own policy covers belongings damaged by sewer backup, since many policies limit it.
