Sewage Cleanup

While in their full protective gear, our technicians will review the extent of the damage, and take note of any places that might have come into contact with sewage

You can do it yourself, but we recommend that you hire professionals for the job because they have the necessary skills, experience, and equipment. However, if you undertake the cleanup, use appropriate equipment and safety measures.

Remove porous materials and items that cannot be salvaged such as cardboard, clothing, mattresses, books, upholstered furniture, carpets and pads. They should be collected using plastic bags so that they can be discarded properly. Salvageable items such as plastic items, dishes, and some furniture pieces should be removed, taken to a safe place, and cleaned properly.

Always take measures to prevent the spread of sewage to places that have not been affected by sewage. To do this, you should close doors that link contaminated rooms to non-contaminated rooms. Take appropriate measures when handling items that may be in the affected areas but that have not come in contact with the sewage.

Cleaning will be done after removing all affected items in the contaminated area as well as all of the sewage water. If you’re doing it yourself, simple household detergent can be used to clean the affected places. Sewage dirt and contamination should be removed in all areas.

Dehumidifiers should be used to dry the wet places after sewage cleanup. Additionally, air scrubbers with HEPA filters should be installed.

Professional sewage cleaning technicians use various disinfectants and sanitizers which are more than just diluted bleach. Their choice depends on the materials and surfaces that need treatment. Nevertheless, it is important to use an effective disinfectant.
