How sewer backup response works.
Bridgepoint Maintenance dispatches sewer backup response twenty four hours across Canada and the US. A sewer backup is more than a clogged drain. It is a biohazard event that needs careful containment. Our crews clear the line, contain the affected area, and run a category three water cleanup with appropriate PPE and disposal. Call 1-855-910-9090 immediately when sewage backs up into the building.
Line clearing
Mechanical auger and hydro jet clearing of the main sewer line. Camera inspection to identify the cause.
Containment
Containment of the affected area to prevent contamination spread. Plastic barriers, negative air, and access control.
Biohazard cleanup
Category three contaminated water cleanup with appropriate PPE, anti microbial treatment, and disposal protocols.
Camera inspection
Sewer camera inspection of the main line to identify root intrusion, broken pipe, or city side issues.
Repair scoping

Insurance documentation
Photo log, scope of contamination, and disposal records suitable for any major insurer.
Why owners and managers call Bridgepoint
Sewer backups are where many vendors take shortcuts. Clear the drain. Mop up. Done. That is not how a properly handled sewer backup ends. Our crews follow category three contamination protocols, document the cleanup, and identify the root cause with camera inspection so the same event does not happen again next month.

Sewer backups, answered.
Common questions about line clearing, biohazard containment, and root cause inspection from property managers, commercial owners, and homeowners.
Sewer backup means wastewater from outside the building entered the space. That is a biohazard. The cleanup follows different protocols than a simple drain clear.
No. Category three contaminated water needs appropriate PPE, containment, and disposal. Call dispatch and stay clear of the affected area.
Most common causes are root intrusion, broken sewer lateral, grease and debris buildup, and city side issues like an overloaded main during heavy rain.
Yes. Camera inspection identifies the root cause. Backwater valves, lateral repairs, and pipe lining options prevent recurrence.
