What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:
Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.
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.

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.
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.
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.
