Renters make up about 45% of households in Montgomery County. Tenants should tell the landlord right away, and the cleanup team can provide documentation for the lease and any claim. Shawsville typically receives about 42 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains.

What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:

  • Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
  • Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
  • Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
  • Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
  • Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows

Step by Step: Sewage Removal and Disinfection in Shawsville, VA

1. Stop the spread

Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.

2. Isolate and protect

Plastic barriers and air controls go up, and technicians suit up before they enter the sewage area.

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. Disinfection and final check

Hard surfaces and framing are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the area before it is cleared for use.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Shawsville, VA Property Owners

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.

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.

Do sewage cleanup companies handle commercial properties?

Yes. Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings follows the same biohazard steps, with added attention to keeping part of the building usable and to documentation for managers and insurers.

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.

How do I disinfect a basement after a sewer backup?

After the sewage and soaked materials are out, floors and walls are scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant used by label directions. Unsealed concrete can hold odor and needs extra attention. Crews often handle this step with professional equipment.

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.
