Residents, tenants and staff are moved out of the area while the crew sets up protective gear and containment.

The crew treats lingering smells, checks air paths and walks the owner through what was done.

Category 3 water is the most contaminated level, and sewage is the standard example. It can carry disease-causing germs and should never be cleaned with household supplies alone. Flood water that touched sewage is treated the same way.
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Pinehurst Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
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.
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.
Keep people and pets out, turn off power if water is near outlets, and avoid touching the sewage. Safe cleanup needs protective gear, extraction, removal of soaked materials and disinfection. For anything more than a small spill, a cleanup company is the safer choice.
Raw sewage is a biohazard, so do not wait on cleanup.
