Renters make up about 40% of households in Cayce. Tenants should tell the landlord right away, and the cleanup team can provide documentation for the lease and any claim. About 60% of homes in Cayce were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time.

What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:

Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread
Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings

From Sewer Backup to Safe Space: The Process in Cayce, SC

1. Stop the spread

Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.

2. Isolate and protect

Plastic barriers and air controls go up, and technicians suit up before they enter the sewage area.

3. Removal of porous materials

Carpet, padding, drywall and insulation that soaked up sewage are cut out, bagged and hauled away as contaminated waste.

4. Treat and verify

Disinfectant is applied to every affected surface, the space is dried and aired out, and the crew inspects the finished work.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Cayce, SC

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?

Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Cayce Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
