Raw sewage cleanup means pumping or scooping out wastewater from toilets, drains and sewer pipes, removing materials that absorbed it, and sanitizing what is left. It differs from ordinary cleaning because the liquid itself is the hazard.

About 57% of homes in Cottonport were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. With roughly 62 inches of annual rainfall in Cottonport, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups.
The work often covers:
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Cottonport
Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Cottonport Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
What if sewage backs up through a shower or tub?
Treat it as raw sewage. Keep people out of the bathroom, stop using the fixture and call for cleanup. The liquid can reach under flooring and into walls, so a crew checks beyond the visible puddle.
Is a sewage backup a biohazard?
Yes. Raw sewage is Category 3 contamination and can carry bacteria, viruses and parasites. That is why cleanup crews wear protective gear and remove porous materials instead of just drying them.
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.
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.
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.
