With roughly 41 inches of annual rainfall in Montgomery, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups.

  • Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
  • Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings

How a Sewage Cleanup Company Works a Job in Montgomery, NY

1. Protect people first

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

2. Sewage extraction

Standing sewage is pumped or scooped out, and the contaminated area is mapped to see how far the liquid traveled.

3. Cut out and discard

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

4. Deodorize and hand back

Odor treatment finishes the job, and the owner receives documentation of the work for insurers or property managers.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Montgomery, NY Property Owners

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.

Why does drywall have to be removed after sewage?

Drywall is porous and holds contamination that can spread germs and odor long after the surface looks clean. Crews usually cut out wall board that sewage touched, and often take out a margin above the wet mark to reach clean material.

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 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.

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.

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.
