Many homes in Boca Raton, about 44%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. Boca Raton typically receives about 56 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains.
The work often covers:
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products

Framing, subfloor and concrete are cleaned and treated, since sewage can soak into surfaces that look dry.
4. Treat and verify
Disinfectant is applied to every affected surface, the space is dried and aired out, and the crew inspects the finished work.

Sewer Backup Questions Answered for Boca Raton, FL
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.
Can I clean sewage myself?
A very small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots, eye protection and a disinfectant used by label directions. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a large area needs professional cleanup, because hidden contamination is hard to see.
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.
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.
How do I clean up a sewer backup?
Keep people and pets out, turn off power if water is near outlets, and avoid touching the sewage. Safe cleanup needs protective gear, extraction, removal of soaked materials and disinfection. For anything more than a small spill, a cleanup company is the safer choice.
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.
