Renters make up about 40% of households in Trinidad. Tenants should tell the landlord right away, and the cleanup team can provide documentation for the lease and any claim. Trinidad averages about 15 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same.

A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:

  • Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
  • Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
  • Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
  • Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords

From Sewer Backup to Safe Space: The Process in Trinidad, CO

1. Protect people first

2. Protective setup

3. Cut out and discard

Contaminated drywall, trim and flooring are removed to clean material, and waste is sealed for proper disposal.

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 Trinidad, CO Property Owners

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.

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.

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.

How do I get sewage smell out of a house?

The smell comes from the contamination, so the fix is removing sewage and soaked materials first, then disinfecting and deodorizing. Air fresheners only cover it. If the odor persists, hidden material such as subfloor or insulation may still hold sewage.

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.

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.
