What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:
Technicians trace the sewage from the source to the farthest wet spot, including under cabinets and into wall bases.
Standing sewage is pumped or scooped out, and the contaminated area is mapped to see how far the liquid traveled.
Contaminated materials are bagged and removed, and surfaces are scrubbed and treated with hospital-grade disinfectant.
Disinfectant is applied to every affected surface, the space is dried and aired out, and the crew inspects the finished work.

Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.
Plumbers usually clear the blockage or repair the pipe, but most do not remove contaminated materials or disinfect the space. A sewage cleanup company picks up where the plumber stops, and the two jobs often happen in sequence.
Sewage can carry germs such as E. coli, norovirus, hepatitis A and Giardia. They spread through skin contact, splashes and hand to mouth contact. Washing well and wearing protection reduce the risk, but removal by a crew reduces it most.
Symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea can start within hours or take a few days. Anyone with symptoms after exposure should contact a doctor. Children, older adults and people with weak immune systems are at higher risk.
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.
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.
