Sewage Backup Cleanup for Fort Stockton Owners, Landlords and Managers
Sewage removal is only the first stage of the job. The harder work is finding where the liquid traveled, taking out porous materials such as carpet padding and drywall, and disinfecting everything it touched.
When sewage backs up in your Fort Stockton property, call Fort Stockton Biohazard Cleanup Help for a crew that treats it as a Category 3 biohazard. The team removes the sewage, discards contaminated materials and disinfects the affected area in Pecos County with EPA-registered products.
About 60% of homes in Fort Stockton were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. Fort Stockton averages about 14 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same.

Sewer Backup Questions Answered for Fort Stockton, TX
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.
Can I clean sewage myself?
A very small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots, eye protection and a disinfectant used by label directions. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a large area needs professional cleanup, because hidden contamination is hard to see.
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.
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.
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.
What if the sewage came from a septic tank?
A septic overflow is cleaned as raw sewage, both inside any affected building and on nearby ground. Contaminated soil, materials and surfaces are handled and disinfected. A septic service may also need to empty or repair the tank.
