With roughly 57 inches of annual rainfall in Lobelville, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups. Many homes in Lobelville, about 47%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
The work often covers:
- Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Lobelville, TN Property Owners
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
