- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
- Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings

Framing, subfloor and concrete are cleaned and treated, since sewage can soak into surfaces that look dry.
4. Clean, disinfect, confirm
Every exposed surface is cleaned and disinfected, then the team confirms the area is ready for repairs or normal use.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Indian Springs, Louisville, KY Property Owners
What are the signs of a sewage leak?
Watch for a rotten-egg or sewer smell, wet spots or stains on floors and walls, unusually green grass over a pipe, and multiple drains backing up at the same time. If any of these show up, keep people away from the area and have the cause checked.
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.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup?
Often only with an added endorsement. Many standard policies treat sewer or drain backup separately from sudden water damage. Call your insurer before cleanup begins, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what they need to see.
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.
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 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.
