The Town provides sewer service to Allenwood, Avenue Downs, Bridgemore Village, Fields of Canterbury, Littlebury, Tollgate Village and Whistle Stop. A backup in any home, on Town sewer or not, is handled the same way: contained, cleaned and sanitized.
What a backup leaves behind
Sewage carries bacteria and viruses into carpet, drywall and cabinets. Anything porous that touched it is cut out and bagged, because it cannot be cleaned well enough to keep.
- Carpet and pad go to disposal
- Drywall and insulation are cut above the water mark
- Hard surfaces are washed and sanitized
The response team treats every surface the water reached as contaminated, including baseboards, the bottoms of cabinets and anything stored on the floor. Items that can be washed are cleaned, and soft goods that cannot be cleaned are listed for the owner and for the insurance claim.
Why homeowners should stay out
The affected rooms are sealed with plastic and the air is kept moving away from clean areas. Children, pets and anyone with a weak immune system should stay clear until the cleanup is done.
After the cleanup
Once the contamination is gone, structural drying removes the leftover moisture, and rebuilding starts only once the space is clean and dry. Read the sewage service overview or return to the town hub.

Sewage Backup Cleanup questions in Thompson's Station, TN
Answers to the questions homeowners ask about a sewage backup.
Is sewage water dangerous to touch?
Yes. It carries bacteria and viruses, so skin contact, splashes and airborne droplets all matter. Protective gear and containment are standard for the response team.
Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?
No. Carpet and pad that touched sewage are removed, because they hold contamination that no cleaner reliably reaches.
What causes a sewage backup?
Common causes are a blocked drain, a clogged main or heavy rain pushing water into the system. A plumber finds the cause, and the cleanup crew handles the water and the materials.
Does the sewer service in town change the cleanup?
The cleanup is the same either way. Subdivisions such as Allenwood and Whistle Stop are on Town sewer, and septic inspections go through the County, but the work in the house is containment, removal and sanitizing.
Is sewage damage covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the policy and the cause. Some policies exclude sewer backup unless a rider was added, so documentation helps.
Get the contamination out of the house
The mitigation team contains the room, removes the contaminated water and materials and sanitizes what remains. Describe the room and what came up the drain.
