Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Dixon, NM Property Owners
Is sewage cleanup the same as water damage restoration?
No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?
Usually not. Carpet and padding soak up Category 3 water and cannot be reliably made safe, so they are cut out and discarded. Hard surfaces, sealed wood and items in closed containers can often be cleaned and kept.
How do I get sewage smell out of a house?
The smell comes from the contamination, so the fix is removing sewage and soaked materials first, then disinfecting and deodorizing. Air fresheners only cover it. If the odor persists, hidden material such as subfloor or insulation may still hold sewage.
Should I call a plumber or a cleanup company first?
If sewage is still coming up, a plumber may need to stop the source. If sewage is already on the floor, a cleanup team can start containing it at once. Many property owners call both, and it does not matter much which is first. Sewer backup companies and plumbers often work one after the other on the same job.
Can sewage backup make me sick even after it is cleaned up?
If the cleanup missed contaminated materials, germs and odor can linger. That is why crews remove porous materials, disinfect every surface they touched and inspect the work. Thorough removal is what lowers the risk.
How do I disinfect a basement after a sewer backup?
After the sewage and soaked materials are out, floors and walls are scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant used by label directions. Unsealed concrete can hold odor and needs extra attention. Crews often handle this step with professional equipment.
