Seal foundation drafts, insulate pipes, keep the heat on, and consider heat tape on vulnerable lines.
Can I clean up a small sewage backup myself?
A small backup on a hard, non-porous floor sometimes can be with gloves, boots and disinfectant. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or other porous materials needs professional cleanup.
