The Importance of Sewage Damage Cleanup

Sewage damage poses significant environmental and health risks. Sewage damage cleanup, therefore, should be done in a speedy manner in order to contain and minimize its damage to structural materials of homes and potential health risks to occupants.

Sewage damage cleanup consists of two parts: physical cleanup and chemical disinfection.

Physical sewage damage cleanup requires removal of sewage water, sewage wastes, and debris. Whereas, chemical disinfection requires use of disinfectants to eliminate microbial organisms like bacteria and viruses.

Prime factors for consideration in sewage damage cleanup include extent of damage, type of materials contaminated, duration of contamination, and amount of ventilation available.

For instance, if sewage damage is minor and contained only to your bathroom flooring, then you do not need to worry about contaminated carpets or upholstery. However, if sewage that has contaminated your house is a result of flooding or sewage backup, then cleaning and disinfecting will be more extensive. In such serious cases, even, use of professional cleaning services is recommended. The thing is, sewage contamination should be properly handled in order to kill all harmful microbes that have contaminated your people.

Before working, it is important that the worker wears protective suits to avoid any contact or inhalation of contaminated particles.

Again, sewage damage cleanup should be initiated very briefly after start of contamination. Sewage damage poses negative impact against people and adversely changes the indoor air quality of your home. The longer the contamination remains untreated or properly treated, the greater are the chances for development of microbes. The longer you prolong start of sewage damage cleanup, the more you and your family are exposed to health threats of sewage contamination.

Some of the diseases that people can develop as a result of contact with sewage -contaminated water or item include Hepatitis A, salmonella, bacillary dysentery, balontidiasis, and skin infection.

Now there are some myths surrounding sewage contamination that you would better dispel.

Myth 1: Sewage-contaminated river, lake, or ocean is clean.

Any body of water contaminated by sewage water or waste is positive with micro-organisms, viruses, pathogens, microbes, germs, and bacteria. When sewage-contaminated water floods homes, these microorganisms soon become odorous health hazards once trapped under carpets, floor coverings, or walls.

Myth 2: Carpets saturated by sewage-contaminated water is salvageable.

This is absolutely false. The same is true for other porous materials like beddings, sofas, papers, and upholstery. The rule of the thumb is, anything you can't disinfect with hot water has to be thrown away.

Myth 3: Buildings which have only been partially contaminated by sewage flood is safe. There is no truth to the preceding statement. This can only be true if the contaminated area has been sealed off to prevent spread of contamination to other areas of the building.

Now, should you do sewage damage cleanup yourself or call a professional sewage remediation services? Again, look at the extent of the damage. If it is contained to a small area of your house such as your bathroom (caused by clogged john), then perhaps it is a problem you can manage yourself. However, if sewage-contaminated flood has entered your entire home, it is better to call sewage-cleaning experts. Health risks are higher in such cases. Cleaning experts have the equipments and expertise to ensure that your home is completely cleaned of harmful microbes for safe use again.
