Sewage Cleanup in Nashville
What could be grosser than sewage water damage? Not much, but it has to be cleaned up, and you definitely need a water damage specialist to help.
Sewage cleanup is required especially if the sewage is classified as Category 3 water damage by the IICRC S500 Standard and Guideline for Water Damage. That means that most non-structural materials cannot be restored and must be removed and disposed of properly. In addition, anyone working in these conditions must be properly vaccinated and wear proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

What Are Special Considerations When Dealing With Sewage Cleanup?
There are many similarities in how sewage water damage and flood water damage are restored. However in sewage cleanup, containment must be set up around the contaminated area, including the path used for disposal. Negative air pressure must be maintained inside the containment area to prevent cross-contamination of bacteria.
All affected drywall, carpet and pad, wood floor covering, furniture, wood trim, kitchen base cabinets, built-in shelves, and any other porous or semi-porous material cannot be cleaned and must be discarded. What is remaining should be cleaned and treated with an anti-microbial solution as part of the sewage cleanup process.
The Sewage Cleanup Process
- Proper extraction is the first step in a sewage cleanup. A broad-based anti-microbial solution should be applied before, during and after a thorough extraction. We use a plant based anti-microbial solution formulated with thyme oil. It kills gram negative and gram positive bacteria without any chance of resistance being developed by the bacteria, is safe for the technicians during the remediation, and leaves no harmful residue for the occupants. The extracted effluent must be disposed properly into a sanitary system.
- Any porous contents exposed to the sewage must be disposed of. High-value items may be able to be thoroughly cleaned and treated if tested afterward. As part of the sewage cleanup the remaining structure should be tested with an ATP meter to determine the presence of any remaining bacteria.As
- All personnel involved in the sewage cleanup should be properly trained, vaccinated, and wear proper PPE (personal protective equipment) like a Tyvek suit, water-proof boots and gloves, and a full face respirator with organic vapor cartridges.
- After the remaining water in the structure has been thoroughly extracted, pressure washed and treated with an anti-microbial solution, drying equipment must be set up. A sewage cleanup project is complete and containment can be removed only after all salvaged material has been cleaned, treated, dried and tested.

I had nothing but a wonderful experience with Tier. They were on time,very friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. I had a spot that I'd had for 4 year on my carpet and figured I would have to replace that carpet but they got it out after a couple of tries. I was truly amazed. Alex, the manager, I'd worked with before and I can't say enough good things about him. He's always there when you need him with a solution for whatever your problem is. He has a very positive attitude and is great to be around. All in all my experience was fantastic!

I honestly believe you won't find a better company to work on your home than TIER. Alex has always given me more than fair estimates and exceeded all my expectations with the final product.
Most recently, TIER installed an interior french drain in my house. Alex came out to my house through all stages of the project. He even did a final walk through and decided that he was not satisfied yet and told me he would send his guys out to bring it to his standards. I can't stress how rare this is.
Until working with Alex and TIER, I had not found a company in Nashville that I trusted. They are the only company in Nashville I would feel comfortable recommending to a friend.

I've been selling homes for over 30 years and have owned rental properties for over 10 years. Tier Restoration is by far the best company of its kind I have ever used. As a real estate Broker selling hundreds of homes a year it is empowering to have a company as competent and professional as Greg Lewis and his crews. As a landlord I have personally used them twice in the past 12 months on major situations. The kind of challenges that would cause many to lose sleep over. In both cases Alex took my fear and concerns I was facing and extinguished them all by his consistent timely communication and professional awareness throughout the process to completion.
From simple duct cleaning to major foundation and crawl space repair and remediation there is only 1 company that I call. They are simply the best!
The Evans Family
The Tier group were amazing!! From the moment they walked in my front door, I knew we were going to be in good hands. The work was professionally done, and the communication was outstanding. Don't waste your time looking at other restoration companies, choose Tier and have that peace of mind that we had!!
Tracy Snow
Alex and his team are amazing to work with. Everyone is courteous, on time, and thorough in their work. Alex stops by to personally check on his crew and talk with the homeowner. I highly recommend Tier Restoration and will certainly use them again and again.
