Raw Sewage Cleanup in Lyons, NJ: What the Work Involves

A sewer backup is wastewater forced back up through a drain or toilet into living space. Sewage backup cleanup removes that wastewater, disposes of contaminated materials and treats surfaces and odors.

Call Lyons Biohazard Cleanup Help any hour about a sewer backup in Lyons, NJ. You get an assessment of how far the sewage spread, removal and decontamination, and a chance to talk through insurance and landlord questions in Somerset County.

Lyons typically receives about 47 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains. Only about 33% of homes in Lyons were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement.

Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in Lyons usually includes:

  • Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
  • Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
  • Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
  • Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
  • Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms

Step by Step: Sewage Removal and Disinfection in Lyons, NJ

1. Stop the spread

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

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. Cut out and discard

Contaminated drywall, trim and flooring are removed to clean material, and waste is sealed for proper disposal.

4. Sanitizing and deodorizing

Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Lyons, NJ Property Owners

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.

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.

How do I know if sewage is leaking under my house?

Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.

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.

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.
