Professional Sewage Cleanup for Biltmore Properties
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.

About 63% of homes in Biltmore were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. Biltmore typically receives about 48 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains.
The work often covers:
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Biltmore
How do I clean up a sewer backup?
Keep people and pets out, turn off power if water is near outlets, and avoid touching the sewage. Safe cleanup needs protective gear, extraction, removal of soaked materials and disinfection. For anything more than a small spill, a cleanup company is the safer choice.
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.
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.
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.
What are the signs of a sewage leak?
Watch for a rotten-egg or sewer smell, wet spots or stains on floors and walls, unusually green grass over a pipe, and multiple drains backing up at the same time. If any of these show up, keep people away from the area and have the cause checked.
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.
