Iroquois typically receives about 53 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains. Many homes in Louisville, about 61%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.

What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:

  • Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
  • Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
  • Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
  • Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
  • Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste

The Sewage Backup Cleanup Process in Iroquois

1. Protect people first

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

2. Pump and remove

Wastewater is taken out of the building, and standing liquid in crawl spaces or low corners is cleared.

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. Treat and verify

Disinfectant is applied to every affected surface, the space is dried and aired out, and the crew inspects the finished work.

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Iroquois

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.

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.

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.

Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?

Usually not. Carpet and padding soak up Category 3 water and cannot be reliably made safe, so they are cut out and discarded. Hard surfaces, sealed wood and items in closed containers can often be cleaned and kept.

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 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.
