What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:
Residents, tenants and staff are moved out of the area while the crew sets up protective gear and containment.
Standing sewage is pumped or scooped out, and the contaminated area is mapped to see how far the liquid traveled.
Liquid is removed first, then anything that cannot be cleaned, such as soaked flooring and wall board.
Disinfectant is applied to every affected surface, the space is dried and aired out, and the crew inspects the finished work.

Category 3 water is the most contaminated level, and sewage is the standard example. It can carry disease-causing germs and should never be cleaned with household supplies alone. Flood water that touched sewage is treated the same way.
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Glencoe Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.
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.
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.
Small jobs may be finished in a day, while larger ones with tear-out, drying and odor treatment take longer. The time depends on the area affected and what had to be removed. The crew can tell you what to expect after assessing the space.
Raw sewage is a biohazard, so do not wait on cleanup.
