Sewage Cleanup

You probably recognize that floods and other sources of running or standing water can cause much damage to your home or business. However, this same damage can occur from sewage. Any time a sewer pipe bursts or a toilet overflows, it causes hard to repair damage and health risks.

This is primarily due to the fact that sewage water contains all kinds of harmful pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. Obviously, each of these pathogenic sources can make you, your family, or business associates sick.

Some of these illnesses include hepatitis, dermatitis, asthma, and more!

Thus, a thorough sewage cleanup is in order. However, you must conduct a sewage cleanup properly. There are techniques that must be used in order to take your home or business and bring it back to the pristine condition it was in before.

Choosing Professional Sewage Cleanup Services

While you can attempt to do a sewage cleanup yourself, we recommend that you choose a professional company to handle this important task. Wearing protective clothing and using the correct equipment and chemicals is essential to cleaning everything up properly. A simple mop and bucket just won’t cut it! Many times you may need industrial strength fans in order to dry the affected area, and you will most certainly need professional help in rescuing any furniture or other possessions that have had sewage touching them.

Sewage backups can actually cause many other problems than those that have to do with health. For instance, before a sewage cleanup, the water itself that soaks everything causes damage. In fact, this happens during any flooding situation, whether related to sewage or not. Water can seep into the walls themselves, the carpeting and more. Any time this happens, you are facing damage from pathogens and from the water itself.

We recommend professional services because the damage can be so extensive. When you choose professional help for a sewage cleanup, you’ll get the benefit of experts that use professional grade equipment, and industrial strength cleaners that kill pathogens. Moreover, the water drying and extraction equipment used has the power you need to really get things back to normal.
