Raw Sewage Cleanup in Crest View Heights, NY: What the Work Involves

A sewer backup is wastewater forced back up through a drain or toilet into living space. Sewage backup cleanup removes that wastewater, disposes of contaminated materials and treats surfaces and odors.

How a Sewage Cleanup Company Works a Job in Crest View Heights, NY

1. Walk through the damage

Technicians trace the sewage from the source to the farthest wet spot, including under cabinets and into wall bases.

2. Pump and remove

Wastewater is taken out of the building, and standing liquid in crawl spaces or low corners is cleared.

3. Take out what absorbed it

Porous items soaked by Category 3 water are removed, and the crew sorts belongings into keep and discard with the owner.

4. Clean, disinfect, confirm

Every exposed surface is cleaned and disinfected, then the team confirms the area is ready for repairs or normal use.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Crest View Heights, NY

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.

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.

Is a sewage backup a biohazard?

Yes. Raw sewage is Category 3 contamination and can carry bacteria, viruses and parasites. That is why cleanup crews wear protective gear and remove porous materials instead of just drying them.

What if the sewage came from a septic tank?

A septic overflow is cleaned as raw sewage, both inside any affected building and on nearby ground. Contaminated soil, materials and surfaces are handled and disinfected. A septic service may also need to empty or repair the tank.

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.

How do I clean sewage off concrete?

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.
