  • Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
  • Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
  • Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed

3. Cut out and discard

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

Hard surfaces and framing are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the area before it is cleared for use.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Village of Grosse Pointe Shores, MI

Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup?

Often only with an added endorsement. Many standard policies treat sewer or drain backup separately from sudden water damage. Call your insurer before cleanup begins, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what they need to see.

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.

Do sewage cleanup companies handle commercial properties?

Yes. Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings follows the same biohazard steps, with added attention to keeping part of the building usable and to documentation for managers and insurers.

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.

What should I do right after a sewage backup?

Keep everyone out of the area, including pets, and stop using sinks, tubs and toilets that feed the pipe. Turn off power to wet areas only if it is safe. Then call a cleanup team and your insurer, and take photos before anything is moved.

How do I know if sewage is leaking under my house?

Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.
