Sewage Cleanup Services for Burbank, CA Homes and Businesses
Commercial sewage cleanup is the same biohazard work done in shops, restaurants, offices and apartment buildings, where many people share the space and the area must be cleared and sanitized before use resumes.
When sewage backs up in your Burbank property, call Burbank 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 Clara County with EPA-registered products.
About 91% of homes in Burbank were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. Santa Clara 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.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Burbank, CA Property Owners
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.
How do I get sewage smell out of a house?
The smell comes from the contamination, so the fix is removing sewage and soaked materials first, then disinfecting and deodorizing. Air fresheners only cover it. If the odor persists, hidden material such as subfloor or insulation may still hold sewage.
What if the sewage came from a septic tank?
A septic overflow is cleaned as raw sewage, both inside any affected building and on nearby ground. Contaminated soil, materials and surfaces are handled and disinfected. A septic service may also need to empty or repair the tank.
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.
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.
