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 Poinciana Park, Fort Lauderdale, FL? Call Poinciana Park Biohazard Cleanup Help for sewage backup cleanup in Broward County at any hour. Crews contain the area first so contamination does not travel to your clean rooms.
Many homes in Fort Lauderdale, about 65%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. Broward County carries a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and rising water can overload sewer pipes and push wastewater back up through floor drains.
What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Poinciana Park, Fort Lauderdale, FL Property Owners
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.
Can I clean sewage myself?
A very small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots, eye protection and a disinfectant used by label directions. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a large area needs professional cleanup, because hidden contamination is hard to see.
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.
How do I clean sewage off concrete?
Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.
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.
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.
