Sewage Removal and Disinfection in Upland, CA
A sewer backup is wastewater forced back up through a drain or toilet into living space. Sewage backup cleanup removes that wastewater, disposes of contaminated materials and treats surfaces and odors.

With a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA for San Bernardino County, flood events here can mix floodwater with sewage, which is treated as Category 3 contamination. The median home in Upland was built in 1978. Pipe material and condition vary from street to street, and an aging sewer pipe can fail at any time.
The work often covers:
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms

- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed

How Sewage Cleanup Works in Upland, CA
2. Isolate and protect
Plastic barriers and air controls go up, and technicians suit up before they enter the sewage area.
3. Sanitize the structure
Framing, subfloor and concrete are cleaned and treated, since sewage can soak into surfaces that look dry.
4. Disinfection and final check
Hard surfaces and framing are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the area before it is cleared for use.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Upland, CA Property Owners
What should I do right after a sewage backup?
Keep everyone out of the area, including pets, and stop using sinks, tubs and toilets that feed the pipe. Turn off power to wet areas only if it is safe. Then call a cleanup team and your insurer, and take photos before anything is moved.
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.
What are the signs of a sewage leak?
Watch for a rotten-egg or sewer smell, wet spots or stains on floors and walls, unusually green grass over a pipe, and multiple drains backing up at the same time. If any of these show up, keep people away from the area and have the cause checked.
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 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.
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.
