Many homes in Iraan, about 54%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. Pecos County has a Very Low river flood risk rating from FEMA. Heavy rain anywhere can strain sewer pipes, so backups remain worth planning for.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Tear-out of sewage-soaked carpet, padding, drywall, baseboards and insulation
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls

Sewer Backup Questions Answered for Iraan, TX
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.
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.
Is sewage cleanup the same as water damage restoration?
No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
What should I do right after a sewage backup?
Keep everyone out of the area, including pets, and stop using sinks, tubs and toilets that feed the pipe. Turn off power to wet areas only if it is safe. Then call a cleanup team and your insurer, and take photos before anything is moved.
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.
Do plumbers clean up sewage?
Plumbers usually clear the blockage or repair the pipe, but most do not remove contaminated materials or disinfect the space. A sewage cleanup company picks up where the plumber stops, and the two jobs often happen in sequence.
