Sewage Removal and Disinfection in Fordyce, AR
Sewage cleanup is the removal of raw sewage and everything it soaked into, followed by cleaning and disinfection of the affected area. Because sewage carries bacteria and viruses, it is handled as a biohazard.
When sewage backs up in your Fordyce property, call Fordyce 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 Dallas County with EPA-registered products.
Many homes in Fordyce, about 61%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. Even without a major flood, Dallas County has a Very Low river flood risk rating from FEMA. Storm runoff can enter sewers and cause backups into basements and low floors.
Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in Fordyce usually includes:
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Fordyce, AR Property Owners
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.
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.
Who pays for sewage cleanup, the landlord or the tenant?
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.
How much does a sewer backup cleanup cost?
The price depends on how much sewage there is, how far it spread and which materials must be removed. A bathroom overflow costs less than a flooded basement. The team sets the price after seeing the space, and nothing is decided on a call alone.
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.
Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Fordyce Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
