Sewage Cleanup

Sewage Cleanup

Proper inspection, remediation and disinfection are all phases to properly cleanup a sewage spill to ensure your safety.

Sewage Backups sometimes start as gurgling sounds in the plumbing or a constant faint sound of running water and sometimes you begin to smell a foul odor when you run your water or flush the toilet.

When the raw sewage backs up into the house or floods the bathrooms, it not only smells and ruins your floor and carpet, but it also presents a real health hazard. When a sewer line backs up in a house or a building it is an unwanted collection of a variety of sewer lines from multiple homes and businesses that contains bacteria and possibly disease and virus based contaminates.

Using an extractor and household disinfectant are not effective to ensure that the area is free of health hazards. Sewer water can travel under flooring, be absorbed into the walls and seep inside appliances.

Sewage Backups Cleanup is Done in the following stages

Sewage water and debris needs to be extricated. This has to be done with special equipment and transported to an approved site.

Removing and disposing of any absorbent materials that came in contact with the sewage. That includes carpets and furniture. In some cases, walls are also included in the absorbent materials. All debris must be bagged correctly since it is considered a biohazard.

Power washers, disinfectants and brushes are used for sewage cleanup.

Structural drying and dehumidification.

Many things can cause a bad odor in a home or business to linger; pets, animal urine, cigarette smoke, spoiled food, garbage, hoarding, sewer backup, the aftermath of a fire, and the poignant odor of a decomposing body.

We recognize and understand that these odors are very offensive and difficult to remediate. One common scenario we come across involves people who have “tried everything” to get rid of a smell, but are still left with lingering scents that just don’t seem to go away.

Odor Removal is a Job for Professionals

First, we remove or clean the source of the odor. In some cases this means removing the carpet, pad or flooring to reach the source of the odor, particularly when dealing with pet urine. Next we select the best odor removal treatment and process that will produce the best results.

Once effective option is an Ozone treatment that is used on its own or in combination with other treatments depending on the situation. Ozone removes odor by destroying the molecules, bacteria, and spores that cause unpleasant odor. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive molecule and is very quick to chemically react with particles that it comes into contact with in the air and on surfaces.

Ozone is effective highly in these situations. As a gas, ozone chemically breaks down the odor-causing molecules wherever air flows, effectively “cleaning” the odor causing bacteria in the air, walls, ceilings, ductwork, carpet fibers, gaps between floorboards, cracks in walls, and more. Ozone is able to penetrate these areas and destroy the odors.

Upon completion of the treatment, we air out the home and replenish it with oxygen and the bacteria’s causing the odor in most cases is eliminated.
