Many homes in Minneapolis, about 72%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. Hennepin 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.

- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
How Sewage Cleanup Works in Midtown Phillips, Minneapolis, MN
2. Protective setup
Crews wear respirators, gloves and suits, then place barriers and signs so people and pets stay out of the contaminated zone.

Liquid is removed first, then anything that cannot be cleaned, such as soaked flooring and wall board.
4. Deodorize and hand back
Odor treatment finishes the job, and the owner receives documentation of the work for insurers or property managers.

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Midtown Phillips
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 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.
Is sewage cleanup the same as water damage restoration?
No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
How long does it take to get sick from raw sewage?
Symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea can start within hours or take a few days. Anyone with symptoms after exposure should contact a doctor. Children, older adults and people with weak immune systems are at higher risk.
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.
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.
