A cleanup technician looks at where the sewage came from, which rooms it reached and which materials it touched.
Wesson, MS · Copiah County
Sewage in a Wesson basement, garage or crawl space is a biohazard, not a mop-and-bucket job. Call (877) 812-4220. Cleanup technicians remove the sewage, bag the soaked materials and disinfect hard surfaces.
If anyone is in danger, call 911 first. For a suicide crisis, call or text 988.
Sewage removal is only the first stage of the job. The harder work is finding where the liquid traveled, taking out porous materials such as carpet padding and drywall, and disinfecting everything it touched.

It depends on the cause, the lease and local law. A landlord's policy may cover the building, while a renter's policy may cover belongings. If the blockage was in a public sewer main, the city or utility may be responsible for the repair.
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.
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.
Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.
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.
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.
Raw sewage is a biohazard, so do not wait on cleanup.
