    Did you take pictures, call the building inspector, mayor, sewer department, everybody, first?
    There are companies who do nothing but clean this sort of situation.
    They are very expensive and the city should pay for it.
    They probably use pressure washers etc to get into every crack and floorboard.
    Get a lawyer ASAP on contingency.
