Sewage is classed as Category 3, the most contaminated level of water, sometimes called black water. Category 3 cleanup uses personal protective equipment, sealed disposal and EPA-registered disinfectants.
For sewer backups in Paradise, you need more than pumping out water. Call Paradise Biohazard Cleanup Help and the crew pulls soaked flooring and drywall, treats framing and subfloor, and deals with the odor at its source in your Clark County property.
About 36% of homes in Paradise were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. About 58% of households in Paradise rent, so sewage backups often involve a landlord, a property manager and a tenant at once. Clear documentation of the cleanup helps everyone.
The work often covers:
- Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Paradise, NV Property Owners
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.
What are the signs of a sewage leak?
Watch for a rotten-egg or sewer smell, wet spots or stains on floors and walls, unusually green grass over a pipe, and multiple drains backing up at the same time. If any of these show up, keep people away from the area and have the cause checked.
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.
How do I know if sewage is leaking under my house?
Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.
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.
Can sewage backup make me sick even after it is cleaned up?
If the cleanup missed contaminated materials, germs and odor can linger. That is why crews remove porous materials, disinfect every surface they touched and inspect the work. Thorough removal is what lowers the risk.
