Only about 40% of homes in Tuscarawas were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement. With roughly 42 inches of annual rainfall in Tuscarawas, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups.
What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Tuscarawas
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.
How do I clean up a sewer backup?
Keep people and pets out, turn off power if water is near outlets, and avoid touching the sewage. Safe cleanup needs protective gear, extraction, removal of soaked materials and disinfection. For anything more than a small spill, a cleanup company is the safer choice.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
Small jobs may be finished in a day, while larger ones with tear-out, drying and odor treatment take longer. The time depends on the area affected and what had to be removed. The crew can tell you what to expect after assessing the space.
How do I know if sewage is leaking under my house?
Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.
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.
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.
