With a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA for Dallas County, flood events here can mix floodwater with sewage, which is treated as Category 3 contamination.

What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:
Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.
The team takes out all standing wastewater and wipes down wet surfaces before touching anything else.
Framing, subfloor and concrete are cleaned and treated, since sewage can soak into surfaces that look dry.
Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.

The smell comes from the contamination, so the fix is removing sewage and soaked materials first, then disinfecting and deodorizing. Air fresheners only cover it. If the odor persists, hidden material such as subfloor or insulation may still hold sewage.
Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.
Plumbers usually clear the blockage or repair the pipe, but most do not remove contaminated materials or disinfect the space. A sewage cleanup company picks up where the plumber stops, and the two jobs often happen in sequence.
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.
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.
If the cleanup missed contaminated materials, germs and odor can linger. That is why crews remove porous materials, disinfect every surface they touched and inspect the work. Thorough removal is what lowers the risk.
