Sewage Backup Cleanup for New Lexington Owners, Landlords and Managers
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.
When sewage backs up in your New Lexington property, call New Lexington Biohazard Cleanup Help for a crew that treats it as a Category 3 biohazard. The team removes the sewage, discards contaminated materials and disinfects the affected area in Perry County with EPA-registered products.
Many homes in New Lexington, about 78%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. With roughly 44 inches of annual rainfall in New Lexington, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups.
Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in New Lexington usually includes:
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- 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
- Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in New Lexington, OH
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.
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.
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 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.
How do I disinfect a basement after a sewer backup?
After the sewage and soaked materials are out, floors and walls are scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant used by label directions. Unsealed concrete can hold odor and needs extra attention. Crews often handle this step with professional equipment.
Do sewage cleanup companies handle commercial properties?
Yes. Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings follows the same biohazard steps, with added attention to keeping part of the building usable and to documentation for managers and insurers.
