With a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA for Los Angeles County, flood events here can mix floodwater with sewage, which is treated as Category 3 contamination. Many homes in Long Beach, about 79%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
The work often covers:
Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.
Sewage is removed from the floor and low areas, and debris, trash and soiled belongings are cleared out.
Framing, subfloor and concrete are cleaned and treated, since sewage can soak into surfaces that look dry.
The crew treats lingering smells, checks air paths and walks the owner through what was done.

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.
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.
