Sewer Backup Cleaning Services in Allentown and Monmouth 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.
Need residential or commercial sewage cleanup in Allentown or nearby parts of Monmouth County? Call Allentown Biohazard Cleanup Help for help in your basement, crawl space, garage, restroom, kitchen or utility room, wherever wastewater has spread.
With roughly 48 inches of annual rainfall in Allentown, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups. Many homes in Allentown, about 87%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in Allentown usually includes:
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Allentown, NJ Property Owners
Is sewage cleanup the same as water damage restoration?
No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
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.
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.
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.
How much does a sewer backup cleanup cost?
The price depends on how much sewage there is, how far it spread and which materials must be removed. A bathroom overflow costs less than a flooded basement. The team sets the price after seeing the space, and nothing is decided on a call alone.
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.
