About 88% of homes in Phoenix were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. Phoenix typically receives about 48 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains.

The work often covers:

  • Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
  • Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
  • Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
  • Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
  • Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms

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

Sewer Backup Questions Answered for Phoenix, NY

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.

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.

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.

How do I get sewage smell out of a house?

The smell comes from the contamination, so the fix is removing sewage and soaked materials first, then disinfecting and deodorizing. Air fresheners only cover it. If the odor persists, hidden material such as subfloor or insulation may still hold sewage.

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.

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.
