Sewer Backup Cleaning Services in South Orange and Orange County
Raw sewage cleanup means pumping or scooping out wastewater from toilets, drains and sewer pipes, removing materials that absorbed it, and sanitizing what is left. It differs from ordinary cleaning because the liquid itself is the hazard.
Are you a property owner, tenant, landlord or manager in South Orange, Orlando, FL? Call South Orange Biohazard Cleanup Help for sewage backup cleanup in Orange County at any hour. Crews contain the area first so contamination does not travel to your clean rooms.
About 60% of households in Orlando rent, so sewage backups often involve a landlord, a property manager and a tenant at once. Clear documentation of the cleanup helps everyone. South Orange typically receives about 51 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains.
The work often covers:
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from South Orange, Orlando, FL Property Owners
How do I know if sewage is leaking under my house?
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.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup?
Often only with an added endorsement. Many standard policies treat sewer or drain backup separately from sudden water damage. Call your insurer before cleanup begins, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what they need to see.
What if the sewage came from a septic tank?
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.
What is Category 3 water, also called black water?
Category 3 water is the most contaminated level, and sewage is the standard example. It can carry disease-causing germs and should never be cleaned with household supplies alone. Flood water that touched sewage is treated the same way.
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.
What should I do right after a sewage backup?
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.
