Los Angeles County carries a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and rising water can overload sewer pipes and push wastewater back up through floor drains. Many homes in Los Angeles, about 70%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Reseda, Los Angeles, CA
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.
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 a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Reseda Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
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.
What illnesses can raw sewage cause?
Sewage can carry germs such as E. coli, norovirus, hepatitis A and Giardia. They spread through skin contact, splashes and hand to mouth contact. Washing well and wearing protection reduce the risk, but removal by a crew reduces it most.
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.
