Many homes in Castle Rock, about 67%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. Castle Rock typically receives about 48 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains.
The work often covers:
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Castle Rock
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.
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.
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.
Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Castle Rock Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
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.
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.
