No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
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.
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.
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.
The price depends on how much sewage there is, how far it spread and which materials must be removed. A bathroom overflow costs less than a flooded basement. The team sets the price after seeing the space, and nothing is decided on a call alone.
It depends on the cause, the lease and local law. A landlord's policy may cover the building, while a renter's policy may cover belongings. If the blockage was in a public sewer main, the city or utility may be responsible for the repair.
