Sewage removal is only the first stage of the job. The harder work is finding where the liquid traveled, taking out porous materials such as carpet padding and drywall, and disinfecting everything it touched.
When sewage backs up in your Thunder Mountain property, call Thunder Mountain Biohazard Cleanup Help for a crew that treats it as a Category 3 biohazard. The team removes the sewage, discards contaminated materials and disinfects the affected area in Santa Fe County with EPA-registered products.
Only about 34% of homes in Santa Fe County were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement. Even without a major flood, Santa Fe County has a Relatively Moderate river flood risk rating from FEMA. Storm runoff can enter sewers and cause backups into basements and low floors.
The work often covers:
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Thunder Mountain, NM
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.
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 is Category 3 water, also called black water?
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.
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.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup?
Often only with an added endorsement. Many standard policies treat sewer or drain backup separately from sudden water damage. Call your insurer before cleanup begins, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what they need to see.
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.
