2. Protective setup

3. Cut out and discard

Contaminated drywall, trim and flooring are removed to clean material, and waste is sealed for proper disposal.

Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Gardenside, Lexington, KY Property Owners

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 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 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.

How do I know if sewage is leaking under my house?

Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.
