Sewage Backup Cleanup for River Road 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.
When sewage backs up in your River Road property, call River Road 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 Lane County with EPA-registered products.
Many homes in River Road, about 87%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. River Road typically receives about 41 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from River Road, OR Property Owners
What illnesses can raw sewage cause?
Sewage can carry germs such as E. coli, norovirus, hepatitis A and Giardia. They spread through skin contact, splashes and hand to mouth contact. Washing well and wearing protection reduce the risk, but removal by a crew reduces it most.
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.
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.
Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?
Usually not. Carpet and padding soak up Category 3 water and cannot be reliably made safe, so they are cut out and discarded. Hard surfaces, sealed wood and items in closed containers can often be cleaned and kept.
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.
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.
