Raw sewage cleanup means pumping or scooping out wastewater from toilets, drains and sewer pipes, removing materials that absorbed it, and sanitizing what is left. It differs from ordinary cleaning because the liquid itself is the hazard.

New Rockford averages about 21 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same. Many homes in New Rockford, about 73%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.

A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:

Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed

From Sewer Backup to Safe Space: The Process in New Rockford, ND

1. Assessment of the spill

A cleanup technician looks at where the sewage came from, which rooms it reached and which materials it touched.

2. Sewage extraction

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

3. Cleanup and tear-out

Liquid is removed first, then anything that cannot be cleaned, such as soaked flooring and wall board.

4. Sanitizing and deodorizing

Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from New Rockford, ND Property Owners

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 long does sewage cleanup take?

Small jobs may be finished in a day, while larger ones with tear-out, drying and odor treatment take longer. The time depends on the area affected and what had to be removed. The crew can tell you what to expect after assessing the space.

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.

Who pays for sewage cleanup, the landlord or the tenant?

It depends on the cause, the lease and local law. A landlord's policy may cover the building, while a renter's policy may cover belongings. If the blockage was in a public sewer main, the city or utility may be responsible for the repair.

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.

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.
