Only about 56% of homes in Westport Village were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement. With roughly 52 inches of annual rainfall in Westport Village, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Westport Village, CT Property Owners
Why does drywall have to be removed after sewage?
Drywall is porous and holds contamination that can spread germs and odor long after the surface looks clean. Crews usually cut out wall board that sewage touched, and often take out a margin above the wet mark to reach clean material.
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 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.
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.
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.
What is Category 3 water, also called black water?
Category 3 water is the most contaminated level, and sewage is the standard example. It can carry disease-causing germs and should never be cleaned with household supplies alone. Flood water that touched sewage is treated the same way.
