A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:

  • Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
  • Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings

What Happens During Raw Sewage Cleanup in Dickinson

1. Protect people first

Residents, tenants and staff are moved out of the area while the crew sets up protective gear and containment.

2. Pump and remove

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

3. Removal of porous materials

Carpet, padding, drywall and insulation that soaked up sewage are cut out, bagged and hauled away as contaminated waste.

4. Treat and verify

Disinfectant is applied to every affected surface, the space is dried and aired out, and the crew inspects the finished work.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Dickinson, TX

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.

How much does a sewer backup cleanup cost?

The price depends on how much sewage there is, how far it spread and which materials must be removed. A bathroom overflow costs less than a flooded basement. The team sets the price after seeing the space, and nothing is decided on a call alone.

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.

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.

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.

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.
