- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Spencerville, NM
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.
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.
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 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.
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 is Category 3 water, also called black water?
Category 3 water is the most contaminated level, and sewage is the standard example. It can carry disease-causing germs and should never be cleaned with household supplies alone. Flood water that touched sewage is treated the same way.
