Sewage cleanup is the removal of raw sewage and everything it soaked into, followed by cleaning and disinfection of the affected area. Because sewage carries bacteria and viruses, it is handled as a biohazard.
Are you a property owner, tenant, landlord or manager in Mission Bay, San Francisco, CA? Call Mission Bay Biohazard Cleanup Help for sewage backup cleanup in San Francisco County at any hour. Crews contain the area first so contamination does not travel to your clean rooms.
Mission Bay averages about 21 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same. Many homes in San Francisco, about 76%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Mission Bay, San Francisco, CA Property Owners
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.
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.
Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Mission Bay Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
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.
Is sewage cleanup the same as water damage restoration?
No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
