A sewer backup is wastewater forced back up through a drain or toilet into living space. Sewage backup cleanup removes that wastewater, disposes of contaminated materials and treats surfaces and odors.
When sewage backs up in your Old Stine property, call Old Stine 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 Kern County with EPA-registered products.
Renters make up about 54% of households in Old Stine. Tenants should tell the landlord right away, and the cleanup team can provide documentation for the lease and any claim.

- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Old Stine, CA Property Owners
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.
Do sewage cleanup companies handle commercial properties?
Yes. Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings follows the same biohazard steps, with added attention to keeping part of the building usable and to documentation for managers and insurers.
Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Old Stine Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
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.
Is a sewage backup a biohazard?
Yes. Raw sewage is Category 3 contamination and can carry bacteria, viruses and parasites. That is why cleanup crews wear protective gear and remove porous materials instead of just drying them.
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.
