Sewage backing up through an Aurora floor drain is a health hazard, not just a mess. Elite Guardian Mitigation is local and IICRC-standard, on site in about an hour to contain, extract, and decontaminate Category 3 water safely.
Crews isolate the affected area, set up containment to stop cross-contamination, and use protective equipment before extracting any Category 3 water from your home.
Contaminated water is pumped out, and porous materials like carpet, pad, and soaked drywall are removed and bagged for safe disposal under proper protocol.
All affected surfaces are cleaned and treated with hospital-grade disinfectant. Crews deodorize the space and address the framing and slab beneath the flooring.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure while crews monitor moisture. Crews confirm the area is dry and sanitized before any restoration begins.
While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.
Shut the supply off at the source, or close the home's main valve if the source is not obvious. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else.
Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.
Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.
Sewage backup cleanup in Aurora generally runs $2,000 to $9,000, driven by how far the contamination spread, how much porous material must be removed, and the size of the affected space. Finished basements cost more because carpet, pad, and drywall usually need disposal. Sewer backup coverage is often an add-on to homeowner policies, so crews document everything thoroughly and coordinate your claim with the adjuster.
Crews reach Aurora and the south-metro Front Range fast, from Del Mar and Aurora Hills to Village East, Smoky Hill, Mission Viejo, and Tallyn's Reach. See the full list on the areas served across Aurora page.

Yes. Sewage is Category 3 water carrying bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Contact or even airborne exposure can make you sick. Keep children and pets away, avoid the area, and call trained professionals. Crews use containment and protective equipment to clean and disinfect it safely.
Hard, non-porous items can usually be cleaned and disinfected. Porous materials that absorbed sewage, such as carpet, pad, drywall, and upholstered furniture, generally must be discarded for safety. Crews document each item crews remove so your insurance claim reflects the full loss accurately.
Basement floor drains sit at the lowest point in the system, so backups surface there first. Common causes on the Front Range include tree roots in older laterals, grease and debris clogs, and heavy storms overloading the sewer. A backwater valve can help prevent it from happening again.
Sewer and drain backup is often a separate add-on rather than part of a standard policy, so coverage varies. Many Aurora homeowners carry it. Crews document the source, contamination, and full scope of removal so you can submit a strong claim, and crews coordinate directly with your adjuster.
Immediately. Contamination and moisture spread by the hour, and the longer sewage sits, the more materials are lost and the higher the health risk. Fast containment and extraction limit the damage. Call (720) 807-8182 right away and keep everyone out of the affected area until crews arrive.
Aurora crews are on call 24 hours a day, local and fast, and can be on the way within the hour.
