Sewage Backup Cleanup for Como Park Owners, Landlords and Managers
Commercial sewage cleanup is the same biohazard work done in shops, restaurants, offices and apartment buildings, where many people share the space and the area must be cleared and sanitized before use resumes.
In Como Park, every sewage job is both a cleanup and a health matter. When you call Como Park Biohazard Cleanup Help, crews wear respirators and protective suits, remove what cannot be saved, sanitize what can and check the work in your Ramsey County property before leaving.
Ramsey County carries a Relatively High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and rising water can overload sewer pipes and push wastewater back up through floor drains. About 78% of homes in St. Paul were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time.
The work often covers:
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
- Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread
- Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Como Park, St. Paul, MN Property Owners
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.
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 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.
What if sewage backs up through a shower or tub?
Treat it as raw sewage. Keep people out of the bathroom, stop using the fixture and call for cleanup. The liquid can reach under flooring and into walls, so a crew checks beyond the visible puddle.
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.
How do I clean up a sewer backup?
Keep people and pets out, turn off power if water is near outlets, and avoid touching the sewage. Safe cleanup needs protective gear, extraction, removal of soaked materials and disinfection. For anything more than a small spill, a cleanup company is the safer choice.
