Professional Sewage Cleanup for Nashville Properties
Sewage cleanup is the removal of raw sewage and everything it soaked into, followed by cleaning and disinfection of the affected area. Because sewage carries bacteria and viruses, it is handled as a biohazard.
When sewage backs up in your Nashville property, call Nashville Biohazard Cleanup Help for a crew that treats it as a Category 3 biohazard. The team removes the sewage, discards contaminated materials and disinfects the affected area in Berrien County with EPA-registered products.
About 55% of homes in Nashville were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. With roughly 48 inches of annual rainfall in Nashville, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups.
The work often covers:
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed

Liquid is removed first, then anything that cannot be cleaned, such as soaked flooring and wall board.

Sewer Backup Questions Answered for Nashville, GA
How do I clean sewage off concrete?
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.
What if sewage backs up through a shower or tub?
Treat it as raw sewage. Keep people out of the bathroom, stop using the fixture and call for cleanup. The liquid can reach under flooring and into walls, so a crew checks beyond the visible puddle.
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.
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.
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.
