Sewage Cleanup Services for New London, OH Homes and Businesses
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.

About 82% of homes in New London were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. New London typically receives about 40 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from New London, OH Property Owners
Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call New London Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
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.
Can I clean sewage myself?
A very small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots, eye protection and a disinfectant used by label directions. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a large area needs professional cleanup, because hidden contamination is hard 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.
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.
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.
