Van Vleck typically receives about 49 inches of rain a year, and heavy storms can overwhelm sewers and send wastewater up through drains. Many homes in Matagorda County, about 52%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
- Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
- Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows

Standing sewage is pumped or scooped out, and the contaminated area is mapped to see how far the liquid traveled.
3. Cleanup and tear-out
Liquid is removed first, then anything that cannot be cleaned, such as soaked flooring and wall board.
4. Disinfection and final check
Hard surfaces and framing are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the area before it is cleared for use.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Van Vleck, TX Property Owners
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.
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 do I clean sewage off concrete?
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.
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.
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 if the sewage came from a septic tank?
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.
