With a Relatively High river flood risk rating from FEMA for Ramsey County, flood events here can mix floodwater with sewage, which is treated as Category 3 contamination. About 78% of homes in St. Paul were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time.

A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:

  • Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
  • Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
  • Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
  • Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
  • Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation

How Sewage Cleanup Works in Macalester / Groveland, St. Paul, MN

1. Walk through the damage

Technicians trace the sewage from the source to the farthest wet spot, including under cabinets and into wall bases.

2. Remove the liquid

The team takes out all standing wastewater and wipes down wet surfaces before touching anything else.

3. Sanitize the structure

Framing, subfloor and concrete are cleaned and treated, since sewage can soak into surfaces that look dry.

4. Odor control and walkthrough

The crew treats lingering smells, checks air paths and walks the owner through what was done.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Macalester / Groveland, St. Paul, MN Property Owners

How do I disinfect a basement after a sewer backup?

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.

Do sewage cleanup companies handle commercial properties?

Yes. Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings follows the same biohazard steps, with added attention to keeping part of the building usable and to documentation for managers and insurers.

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.

Why does drywall have to be removed after sewage?

Drywall is porous and holds contamination that can spread germs and odor long after the surface looks clean. Crews usually cut out wall board that sewage touched, and often take out a margin above the wet mark to reach clean material.

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.

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.
