How a Sewage Cleanup Company Works a Job in Hampton, IA
2. Protective setup
Crews wear respirators, gloves and suits, then place barriers and signs so people and pets stay out of the contaminated zone.
3. Removal of porous materials
Carpet, padding, drywall and insulation that soaked up sewage are cut out, bagged and hauled away as contaminated waste.
4. Sanitizing and deodorizing
Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Hampton, IA
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.
How do I clean sewage off concrete?
Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
