Most homes in Crofton are owner-occupied, with renters at about 18% of households. Owners usually coordinate cleanup, their insurer and any plumbing repair directly. Only about 40% of homes in Crofton were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement.

- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
- Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Crofton, MD
Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Crofton Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup?
Often only with an added endorsement. Many standard policies treat sewer or drain backup separately from sudden water damage. Call your insurer before cleanup begins, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what they need to see.
How do I disinfect a basement after a sewer backup?
After the sewage and soaked materials are out, floors and walls are scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant used by label directions. Unsealed concrete can hold odor and needs extra attention. Crews often handle this step with professional equipment.
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 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 illnesses can raw sewage cause?
Sewage can carry germs such as E. coli, norovirus, hepatitis A and Giardia. They spread through skin contact, splashes and hand to mouth contact. Washing well and wearing protection reduce the risk, but removal by a crew reduces it most.
