Sewage Cleanup
We provide 24/7 emergency service sewage cleanup services to manage hazardous waste and contamination effectively.
A “sewage backup” refers to a situation where wastewater from toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and other drains in a home backs up and overflows due to a blockage in the main sewer line, typically caused by clogs from grease, hair, tree roots, or flushing inappropriate materials, leading to sewage potentially flooding various areas of the house, including around toilets and other plumbing fixtures.
Our team is equipped with protective gear and specialized tools to safely eliminate sewage, disinfect impacted areas, and restore hygienic conditions.
Sewage backup contains a multitude of viruses.
According to the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification), over 120 viruses can be present in human waste, which represents only a fraction of the pathogens found in the sewage system. Among the most prevalent and hazardous pathogens are:
- Rotavirus, which can lead to severe and potentially fatal diarrhea in young children;
- Adenoviruses, associated with respiratory and ocular infections;
- Norovirus, known for causing gastric flu;
- Giardia and Cryptosporidium, which can result in chronic and severe intestinal illnesses in both children and adults;
- and bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli, which can produce endotoxins that lead to respiratory inflammation, airway constriction, and central nervous system complications.
This is not a situation that you should try to cleanup yourself, bleach and other “off the shelf” cleaners may not adequately eliminate all potential viruses. Additionally, doing so could expose you to contamination risks.
