A sewage backup cannot be properly cleaned by simply extracting the water, scrubbing the walls, or shampooing the carpet.
Sewage water is classified as Category 3 water and may contain harmful bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants that can put your family’s health at risk. It can soak beneath flooring, behind walls, into insulation, and through other porous materials, even when the surface appears clean or dry.
The remaining moisture and contamination can also create the perfect environment for rapid mold growth, leading to even more damage. Contaminated materials often need to be safely removed, and the affected areas must be professionally cleaned, disinfected, and dried.
If your home or business experiences a sewage backup, avoid contact with the affected area and call a professional remediation company as soon as possible.
