Sewage Cleanup in Five Points — questions families ask
Why is a sewage backup considered a biohazard?
Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illness. It is classified as a biohazard, and cleaning it safely requires protective equipment, proper disinfection, and correct disposal — not ordinary mopping.
How fast do I need to act?
As fast as you can. Sewage spreads into porous materials and the contamination worsens by the hour, and standing moisture can start mold growth within a day or two. A quick response meaningfully limits the damage and the cost.
Will flooring and drywall need to be removed?
Often, yes. Porous materials that absorb sewage usually cannot be fully decontaminated and are removed. Hard, non-porous surfaces can typically be cleaned and disinfected. The crew assesses this on-site.
Does insurance cover sewage backups?
Many policies do, especially for sudden backups, though coverage varies and some policies require a specific backup endorsement. The crew documents the work to support your claim, and a coordinator can talk you through what to expect.
