Even without a major flood, San Juan County has a Relatively Moderate river flood risk rating from FEMA. Storm runoff can enter sewers and cause backups into basements and low floors.

- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread
The Sewage Backup Cleanup Process in Angustura
2. Protective setup
Crews wear respirators, gloves and suits, then place barriers and signs so people and pets stay out of the contaminated zone.

Carpet, padding, drywall and insulation that soaked up sewage are cut out, bagged and hauled away as contaminated waste.
4. Sanitizing and deodorizing
Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Angustura, NM
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.
Why does drywall have to be removed after sewage?
Drywall is porous and holds contamination that can spread germs and odor long after the surface looks clean. Crews usually cut out wall board that sewage touched, and often take out a margin above the wet mark to reach clean material.
What if the sewage came from a septic tank?
A septic overflow is cleaned as raw sewage, both inside any affected building and on nearby ground. Contaminated soil, materials and surfaces are handled and disinfected. A septic service may also need to empty or repair the tank.
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 do I clean sewage off concrete?
Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.
How much does a sewer backup cleanup cost?
The price depends on how much sewage there is, how far it spread and which materials must be removed. A bathroom overflow costs less than a flooded basement. The team sets the price after seeing the space, and nothing is decided on a call alone.
