Sewage Backup Cleanup for Auburndale Owners, Landlords and Managers

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.

Call Auburndale Biohazard Cleanup Help any hour about a sewer backup in Auburndale, New York, NY. You get an assessment of how far the sewage spread, removal and decontamination, and a chance to talk through insurance and landlord questions in Kings County.

With roughly 47 inches of annual rainfall in Auburndale, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups. The median home in New York was built in 1952. Pipe material and condition vary from street to street, and an aging sewer pipe can fail at any time.

A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:

  • Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
  • Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
  • Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
  • Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
  • Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation

The Sewage Backup Cleanup Process in Auburndale

1. Assessment of the spill

A cleanup technician looks at where the sewage came from, which rooms it reached and which materials it touched.

2. Extract and clear

Sewage is removed from the floor and low areas, and debris, trash and soiled belongings are cleared out.

3. Sanitize the structure

Framing, subfloor and concrete are cleaned and treated, since sewage can soak into surfaces that look dry.

4. Odor control and walkthrough

The crew treats lingering smells, checks air paths and walks the owner through what was done.

Sewer Backup Questions Answered for Auburndale, New York, NY

How long does sewage cleanup take?

Small jobs may be finished in a day, while larger ones with tear-out, drying and odor treatment take longer. The time depends on the area affected and what had to be removed. The crew can tell you what to expect after assessing the space.

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.

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 illnesses can raw sewage cause?

Sewage can carry germs such as E. coli, norovirus, hepatitis A and Giardia. They spread through skin contact, splashes and hand to mouth contact. Washing well and wearing protection reduce the risk, but removal by a crew reduces it most.

How long does it take to get sick from raw sewage?

Symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea can start within hours or take a few days. Anyone with symptoms after exposure should contact a doctor. Children, older adults and people with weak immune systems are at higher risk.

Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?

Usually not. Carpet and padding soak up Category 3 water and cannot be reliably made safe, so they are cut out and discarded. Hard surfaces, sealed wood and items in closed containers can often be cleaned and kept.
