Sewage Backup Cleanup for Nardin Park Owners, Landlords and Managers
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.
Did a drain, toilet or septic system overflow indoors in Nardin Park? Call Nardin Park Biohazard Cleanup Help. The cleanup team works discreetly, explains each step to you and keeps family members, tenants and staff out of the contaminated zone in Wayne County.
About 90% of homes in Detroit were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. With a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA for Wayne County, flood events here can mix floodwater with sewage, which is treated as Category 3 contamination.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
- Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread

The team takes out all standing wastewater and wipes down wet surfaces before touching anything else.
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. 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 Nardin Park, Detroit, MI Property Owners
How long does it take to get sick from raw sewage?
Symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea can start within hours or take a few days. Anyone with symptoms after exposure should contact a doctor. Children, older adults and people with weak immune systems are at higher risk.
How much does a sewer backup cleanup cost?
The price depends on how much sewage there is, how far it spread and which materials must be removed. A bathroom overflow costs less than a flooded basement. The team sets the price after seeing the space, and nothing is decided on a call alone.
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.
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.
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.
Can sewage backup make me sick even after it is cleaned up?
If the cleanup missed contaminated materials, germs and odor can linger. That is why crews remove porous materials, disinfect every surface they touched and inspect the work. Thorough removal is what lowers the risk.
