Sewage Backup Cleanup for Wiggins Owners, Landlords and Managers
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 Wiggins, every sewage job is both a cleanup and a health matter. When you call Wiggins Biohazard Cleanup Help, crews wear respirators and protective suits, remove what cannot be saved, sanitize what can and check the work in your Stone County property before leaving.
Only about 27% of homes in Stone County were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement. With roughly 67 inches of annual rainfall in Wiggins, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups.
What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
The Sewage Backup Cleanup Process in Wiggins
2. Extract and clear
Sewage is removed from the floor and low areas, and debris, trash and soiled belongings are cleared out.
3. Cleanup and tear-out
Liquid is removed first, then anything that cannot be cleaned, such as soaked flooring and wall board.
4. Sanitizing and deodorizing
Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Wiggins, MS Property Owners
How do I clean up a sewer backup?
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.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
Small jobs may be finished in a day, while larger ones with tear-out, drying and odor treatment take longer. The time depends on the area affected and what had to be removed. The crew can tell you what to expect after assessing the space.
How do I disinfect a basement after a sewer backup?
After the sewage and soaked materials are out, floors and walls are scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant used by label directions. Unsealed concrete can hold odor and needs extra attention. Crews often handle this step with professional equipment.
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.
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.
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.
