How to Get the Sewer Smell Out of Your House After Backup

When a sewer backs up into your home, it can leave behind a foul odor that can be difficult to get rid of. The smell is caused by bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the sewage, and it can be a health hazard if it is not properly cleaned up.

There are a few things you can do to get the sewer smell out of your house after a backup.

  • Clean and disinfect the affected area. This should be done as soon as possible after the backup occurs. Use a strong cleaning solution, such as bleach or a commercial cleaner, and make sure to rinse the area thoroughly with clean water.
  • Ventilate the area. Open windows and doors to air out the area. You can also use a fan to help circulate the air.
  • Use an air purifier. An air purifier can help to remove the odor from the air. You may need to run the air purifier for several days or even weeks to completely remove the smell.
  • Call a professional sewage cleanup service. If you are unable to get the sewer smell out of your house on your own, you should call a professional sewage cleanup service. They have the experience and equipment to safely and effectively clean up the sewage and remove the odor.
