Sewage odor comes from material, not just air. Drywall, carpet pad, insulation and subfloor soak up sewage and keep releasing odor while they stay damp. Wiping the surface leaves the source inside.
Tenants should call the landlord first, since the owner decides who clears the pipe. The crew can begin the removal as soon as the owner approves.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A warm, humid week in Kane speeds all of this up. A cold basement slows it, but wet materials still have to come 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

Sewage Smell Removal After a Backup Questions in Kane
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.
Who disposes of the waste from sewage smell removal after a backup?
The crew bags it and disposes of it properly. The homeowner does not carry it out.
Do I have to move everything before sewage smell removal after a backup starts?
No. Move only items you can lift without stepping in sewage. The crew handles the rest.
Does sewage smell removal after a backup cover the rebuild too?
No. The crew removes, cleans and dries. Drywall, paint and flooring are quoted after drying.
