Professional sewage cleanup is the controlled removal of human waste and wastewater from a building. Crews seal off the area, wear protective gear and haul out contaminated materials as hazardous waste.

Most homes in Grant County are owner-occupied, with renters at about 24% of households. Owners usually coordinate cleanup, their insurer and any plumbing repair directly. Many homes in Hurley, about 88%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
The work often covers:
- Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out

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

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Hurley, NM Property Owners
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is a sewage backup a biohazard?
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.
Is sewage cleanup the same as water damage restoration?
No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
