Many homes in Rexland Acres, about 84%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. Rexland Acres averages about 7 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same.
The work often covers:
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Rexland Acres
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.
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.
Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?
Usually not. Carpet and padding soak up Category 3 water and cannot be reliably made safe, so they are cut out and discarded. Hard surfaces, sealed wood and items in closed containers can often be cleaned and kept.
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.
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.
