Are you a property owner, tenant, landlord or manager in South Central, Wichita, KS? Call South Central Biohazard Cleanup Help for sewage backup cleanup in Sedgwick County at any hour. Crews contain the area first so contamination does not travel to your clean rooms.
About 41% of households in Wichita rent, so sewage backups often involve a landlord, a property manager and a tenant at once. Clear documentation of the cleanup helps everyone. Sedgwick County carries a Relatively High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and rising water can overload sewer pipes and push wastewater back up through floor drains.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
- 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
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from South Central, Wichita, KS Property Owners
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.
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.
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.
Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?
Usually not. Carpet and padding soak up Category 3 water and cannot be reliably made safe, so they are cut out and discarded. Hard surfaces, sealed wood and items in closed containers can often be cleaned and kept.
How do I clean sewage off concrete?
Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.
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.
