Hidden Valley typically receives about 44 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains. Only about 28% of homes in Charlotte were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement.
The work often covers:
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Hidden Valley, Charlotte, NC Property Owners
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
