Sewage Removal and Disinfection in Absecon Highlands, NJ
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.

Only about 53% of homes in Atlantic County were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement.

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Absecon Highlands
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
