Sewer Backup Cleaning Services in Globeville and Denver 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.
Property owners in Globeville can follow a clear sequence for sewage restoration: contain, remove, disinfect, deodorize and inspect. Ask Globeville Biohazard Cleanup Help about documentation that insurers and property managers in Denver County often want from you.
Renters make up about 51% of households in Denver. Tenants should tell the landlord right away, and the cleanup team can provide documentation for the lease and any claim. About 56% of homes in Denver were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time.
The work often covers:
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Globeville
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.
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.
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.
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.
Who pays for sewage cleanup, the landlord or the tenant?
It depends on the cause, the lease and local law. A landlord's policy may cover the building, while a renter's policy may cover belongings. If the blockage was in a public sewer main, the city or utility may be responsible for the repair.
How long does it take to get sick from raw sewage?
Symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea can start within hours or take a few days. Anyone with symptoms after exposure should contact a doctor. Children, older adults and people with weak immune systems are at higher risk.
