Sewage Backup Cleanup for Aurora Owners, Landlords and Managers
Sewage restoration is the work of returning a space to safe, usable condition after a backup. It starts with removing contamination, and repairs and rebuilding only follow once the area is clean.
In Aurora, every sewage job is both a cleanup and a health matter. When you call Aurora Biohazard Cleanup Help, crews wear respirators and protective suits, remove what cannot be saved, sanitize what can and check the work in your St. Louis County property before leaving.
About 92% of homes in Aurora were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. St. Louis County has a Relatively Moderate river flood risk rating from FEMA. Heavy rain anywhere can strain sewer pipes, so backups remain worth planning for.
Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in Aurora usually includes:
- Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Aurora, MN
What if sewage backs up through a shower or tub?
Treat it as raw sewage. Keep people out of the bathroom, stop using the fixture and call for cleanup. The liquid can reach under flooring and into walls, so a crew checks beyond the visible puddle.
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.
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 do I get sewage smell out of a house?
The smell comes from the contamination, so the fix is removing sewage and soaked materials first, then disinfecting and deodorizing. Air fresheners only cover it. If the odor persists, hidden material such as subfloor or insulation may still hold sewage.
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.
