About 78% of homes in Crandon Lakes were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. Whether a property in Sussex County is owned or rented, sewage on the floor has to be cleaned the same way, and renters should notify the landlord before cleanup starts.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.
Crews wear respirators, gloves and suits, then place barriers and signs so people and pets stay out of the contaminated zone.
Carpet, padding, drywall and insulation that soaked up sewage are cut out, bagged and hauled away as contaminated waste.
Odor treatment finishes the job, and the owner receives documentation of the work for insurers or property managers.

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.
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.
A very small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots, eye protection and a disinfectant used by label directions. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a large area needs professional cleanup, because hidden contamination is hard to see.
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.
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.
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.
A cleanup team can start with a safe plan as soon as you call.
