Only about 30% of homes in Weld County were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement. Hudson averages about 14 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
Residents, tenants and staff are moved out of the area while the crew sets up protective gear and containment.
Wastewater is taken out of the building, and standing liquid in crawl spaces or low corners is cleared.
Contaminated materials are bagged and removed, and surfaces are scrubbed and treated with hospital-grade disinfectant.
Odor treatment finishes the job, and the owner receives documentation of the work for insurers or property managers.

A septic overflow is cleaned as raw sewage, both inside any affected building and on nearby ground. Contaminated soil, materials and surfaces are handled and disinfected. A septic service may also need to empty or repair the tank.
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.
Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.
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.
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.
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.
