Sewage cleanup is the removal of raw sewage and everything it soaked into, followed by cleaning and disinfection of the affected area. Because sewage carries bacteria and viruses, it is handled as a biohazard.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Wallburg, NC Property Owners
Do plumbers clean up sewage?
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.
What if sewage backs up through a shower or tub?
Treat it as raw sewage. Keep people out of the bathroom, stop using the fixture and call for cleanup. The liquid can reach under flooring and into walls, so a crew checks beyond the visible puddle.
How do I clean up a sewer backup?
Keep people and pets out, turn off power if water is near outlets, and avoid touching the sewage. Safe cleanup needs protective gear, extraction, removal of soaked materials and disinfection. For anything more than a small spill, a cleanup company is the safer choice.
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.
What should I do right after a sewage backup?
Keep everyone out of the area, including pets, and stop using sinks, tubs and toilets that feed the pipe. Turn off power to wet areas only if it is safe. Then call a cleanup team and your insurer, and take photos before anything is moved.
Can I clean sewage myself?
A very small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots, eye protection and a disinfectant used by label directions. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a large area needs professional cleanup, because hidden contamination is hard to see.
