Sewage Backup Cleanup for Bladensburg Owners, Landlords and Managers

Sewage cleanup is the removal of raw sewage and everything it soaked into, followed by cleaning and disinfection of the affected area. Because sewage carries bacteria and viruses, it is handled as a biohazard.

Bladensburg typically receives about 46 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains. About 72% of homes in Bladensburg were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time.

The work often covers:

  • Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
  • Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
  • Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
  • Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
  • Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed

How Sewage Cleanup Works in Bladensburg, MD

1. Walk through the damage

Technicians trace the sewage from the source to the farthest wet spot, including under cabinets and into wall bases.

Carpet, padding, drywall and insulation that soaked up sewage are cut out, bagged and hauled away as contaminated waste.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Bladensburg, MD

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.

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.

Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?

Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Bladensburg Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.

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.

What are the signs of a sewage leak?

Watch for a rotten-egg or sewer smell, wet spots or stains on floors and walls, unusually green grass over a pipe, and multiple drains backing up at the same time. If any of these show up, keep people away from the area and have the cause checked.

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.
