Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Jamaica Estates / Holliswood, New York, NY Property Owners

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.

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.

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 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.

Should I call a plumber or a cleanup company first?

If sewage is still coming up, a plumber may need to stop the source. If sewage is already on the floor, a cleanup team can start containing it at once. Many property owners call both, and it does not matter much which is first. Sewer backup companies and plumbers often work one after the other on the same job.

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

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