Professional Sewage Cleanup for Frankston Properties
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.
In Frankston, every sewage job is both a cleanup and a health matter. When you call Frankston Biohazard Cleanup Help, crews wear respirators and protective suits, remove what cannot be saved, sanitize what can and check the work in your Anderson County property before leaving.
Frankston typically receives about 48 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains. Many homes in Frankston, about 46%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in Frankston usually includes:
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Frankston, TX 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
