What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A fan pointed at sewage pushes germs through the air and does not make the room safe. Drying comes after the sewage and the soaked materials are out.
- Open windows for fresh air when the weather and security allow
- Switch the heating and cooling fan off if the smell comes from a damaged area, so it does not spread
- Skip candles, sprays and fogging that only cover the smell
- Note where the odor is strongest and when it gets worse
- Leave the area for fresh air if the smell makes you dizzy, sick or short of breath

Why does it still smell after the water was cleaned up?
Surface cleaning rarely reaches sewage that soaked into pad, drywall, insulation or subfloor. Those materials hold odor until they are removed or treated.
Could the smell be sewer gas instead?
Yes. A dry drain trap or a vent problem lets sewer gas into a room, and that is plumbing work. The crew checks for wet materials first, and the plumber checks the drains.

Yes. Carpet, pad, insulation and wet drywall that sewage reached are cut out, bagged and carried away.
How long does sewage smell removal after a backup take in Roebling?
The pump-out and tear-out often take a day or two, and drying runs about 3 to 5 days after that. Big or slow-drying jobs take longer.
Is sewage smell removal after a backup urgent in Roebling?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria, and mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Call right away.
