20+ Years Experience
Specialist Sewage Cleaning
Sewage is not just unsanitary – it can pose a lot of health risks that need to be dealt with as soon as possible and can often require specialised steps to clean up.
Even worse, the Whitby sewage cleaning process is not usually something that a typical homeowner can figure out by themselves.
Our January 2025 sewage cleaning services are meant to fill in the gaps and provide an effective sewage cleanup service for a wide range of residential and commercial properties.
No matter the size and purpose of the affected area, our team can carry out deep cleaning to ensure minimal danger in every situation.
We are an accredited sewage cleanup services team in Whitby that understands how to handle raw sewage safety. Our cleaning services are not just basic attempts to remove harmful bacteria – every member of our group has undergone extensive training in the risk assessment and handling of sewage spills.
Thanks to our excellent and consistent work across countless sewage cleanup tasks, we carry a range of professional certifications from organisations such as CHAS and Constructionline. We work hard to ensure that we can tackle all common sewage spill issues, regardless of severity.
With over 10 years of experience managing sewage cleanup tasks in Whitby, our team understand how to tackle all kinds of emergency sewage cleaning requests. From sewage water leaks to harmful gases, we are properly prepared and equipped to tackle problems in a professional manner.
We get all of our specialist equipment from providers within the industry that can support your sewage cleaning services.

We are trained to provide support for all kinds of cleaning tasks, from the most basic drainage work to complex multi-stage cleaning, to deal with many larger-scale spills and contamination issues.

Our Whitby team can provide a range of core sewage cleanup services throughout a variety of spaces, from industrial buildings to residential homes.
We can do this using a variety of invaluable tools and methods, such as disinfecting and fumigating spaces or neutralising bad odours with thermal fogging.
Our sewage spill specialists are also fully prepared to work alongside other specialists for larger-scale sewage leak issues or for taking on challenges that require highly specialised equipment to reach affected areas.
Everything we use, right down to our personal protective equipment, has been chosen to get results.
We also carry out a full risk assessment before beginning any work and collaborate with property owners to choose the right methods and tools for each situation.
The cost of sewage cleanup services can vary heavily based on a range of factors. Something like unblocking a drain can be as cheap as £180 or less, while full sewage clean-up of burst septic tanks and damaged water supply systems can be a lot more expensive.
In general, cleaning costs rise in proportion to the health risk factors and amount of effort required.
Since the term covers any wastewater carried away from your property, different types of sewage water clean-up can also have varying price points.
We work with our clients to find the best sewage clean-up arrangement for their needs, taking any potential budget issues into account.
Cleaning is a part of any property. While many people associate sewage clean-up with major sewage leak issues or serious illness, a lot of spills are smaller and far more minor projects.
For example, if you have a pipe to remove sewage from your home in your garden and it bursts open one night, that risks causing health problems to anybody in the area. Calling professionals like us allows the problem to be dealt with quickly before it can cause any serious problems.
Sewage leak issues in Whitby can impact almost any property or space, including:
Sewage spills can happen for a wide range of reasons in any location where raw sewage is stored or moved. From broken pipes on washing machines to major sewage leaks coming from treatment plants, a sewage spill can happen at almost any time, often when it would be least expected.
The benefits of cleaning up these spills are obvious – it removes the sewage, water, odour and potential health risk from a space and situation. However, choosing our cleaning service in particular leads to some advantages over other options.
First of all, our cleaning service is focused on getting the job done right. We clean up sewage and wastewater using a range of professional techniques, all of which are meant to maximise cleaning and minimise potential risks.
When we provide sewage spill cleaning, we do our best to completely remove any traces of the sewage. From odour removal to the containment of harmful pathogens in the sewage, we do our best to ensure that your freshly-cleaned space could easily receive a hygiene certificate.
Cleaning up sewage, at its core, is about minimising the damage that spills can do. Direct sewage clean-up is a very complicated process, involving a lot more than just washing human waste off surfaces.
If handled incorrectly, sewage (and especially faecal matter) can have disastrous effects. It can lead to severe damage to contaminated items, cause serious long-term illnesses that might linger on nearby uncontaminated items, or result in even death depending on the pathogens in the sewage.
If left untreated, sewage spills are disgusting at best and full of potentially harmful bacteria and pathogens at worst. As a cleaning company, our goal is to take care of the sewage spills and any resulting common pathogens, keeping a property safe and clean by removing any traces of the initial sewage spill.
We work hard to clean up sewage spills in a way that minimises their impact. Coming into contact with sewage backup can lead to sickness and serious discomfort, and a spill is very likely to damage anything that it touches.
A lot of sewage ends up acting like tainted surface water, meaning that it will often spread further than you first expect. A large part of our cleaning process is meant to limit the damage that sewage can do, both to the health of the people around it and to the spaces that it has spilt into.
Beyond clearing up a sewage spill itself, we work to remove any lingering traces of sewage and identify the reasons that the spill occurred in the first place.
Why is sewage hazardous? That depends on the exact contents of the sewage in Whitby, but in general, it is because it causes more harm and damage the longer it is left in the open.
While cleaning up the spill itself is an obvious choice, we also do our best to find solutions to things like a persistent sewage backup or bad smells that refuse to leave the area where the spill occurred.
We also have all of the right connections to recommend to you the specialist work for maintaining sewage pipes, installing new sewage systems, installing better drains, or other top-priority post-cleaning work that can keep your property safe from further spills.
“We didn’t notice the grey water spill in our home until it was too late. We are very pleased with how quickly your cleaning company was able to deep clean our property and get rid of the terrible smells it left behind.”
“I am incredibly impressed with the odour removal work, and am happy to say that there have been no further complaints about smells or stains since the drying process. I will turn to your services again if a similar problems ever occurs.”
“Your cleaning service fixed the problem incredibly quickly, and the full bacteria wipe-down made it a lot easier to feel that my house was safe again.”
Cleaning sewage backup involves draining all of the water and sewage, then washing down any surfaces that came into contact with the sewage itself.
From there, individual changes and cleaning efforts can be made based on how the sewage spilt since no two spills are going to be exactly identical.
Raw sewage in a garden can be diluted with water and will eventually break down if cleaned properly. However, some cleaning methods can actually slow the process, such as trying to rake the affected space.
Our experts can tackle all kinds of cleaning situations, including outdoor spills. This includes working around things like tree roots or using natural heavy rain as part of the cleaning process.
Sewage spills underneath a house often require work in a crawlspace, which can be difficult to work in ordinarily. Our technicians wear specialist equipment and have the professional tools needed to clear out these crawlspaces of any lingering odorous bacteria.
If you touch raw sewage, immediately wash your hands and the affected area with soap and water. Do not touch your face, eyes, nose, mouth, or any sores and cuts while handling (or even standing near) open sewage.
In general, cleaning the contaminated parts of your body properly should be the easiest way to minimise health risks. In extreme cases, you may need to take a full shower and/or be properly disinfected.
Most sewage and waste will create odours and gases naturally, which is why most sewers smell awful. In general, cleaning up the spills will gradually lessen the smell, although properly removing the odorous bacteria is the only definite way to remove the gases and smells.
Gas from a sewer or waste spill can get you incredibly sick and can even result in major damage to some of your organs if you linger around a large amount of it for too long without proper protective equipment.
