With roughly 47 inches of annual rainfall in Farmington, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups. Only about 27% of homes in Washington County were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement.
Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in Farmington usually includes:
Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.
Wastewater is taken out of the building, and standing liquid in crawl spaces or low corners is cleared.
Carpet, padding, drywall and insulation that soaked up sewage are cut out, bagged and hauled away as contaminated waste.
Disinfectant is applied to every affected surface, the space is dried and aired out, and the crew inspects the finished work.

It depends on the cause, the lease and local law. A landlord's policy may cover the building, while a renter's policy may cover belongings. If the blockage was in a public sewer main, the city or utility may be responsible for the repair.
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.
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.
Small jobs may be finished in a day, while larger ones with tear-out, drying and odor treatment take longer. The time depends on the area affected and what had to be removed. The crew can tell you what to expect after assessing the space.
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Farmington Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
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.
Keep people and pets out, then call (877) 812-4220.
