Common Concerns associated with Commercial Sewage Backup Damages

Sewage poses the same risk of cosmetic and structural damage as a typical water damage, with an added potential for significant health risks. Depending on the category of water involved in the sewage backup, it poses a risk of containing bacterial and viral contaminants, parasites, and mold. The longer you wait to have sewage cleaned up, the greater the risk of these contaminants. Biohazard sewage cleanup should be performed by a highly-trained, certified professional in order to ensure the safety of the affected area as well as the inhabitants of the property. Many life-threatening biohazards exist due to raw sewage exposure. Most porous items that meet raw sewage must be handled properly by certified professionals and disposed of in a safe manner.

Occupants should exercise caution during times of "black water" invasions including:

• They should avoid all contact with sewage and all items contaminated by sewage.
• They should wash their hands thoroughly after encountering anything that might be contaminated.

Health Risks, Contamination, and Mold

Due to the nature of sewage, it is likely to contaminate porous materials with dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

Cosmetic Damage

Sewage can stain and discolor ceilings, walls, carpeting, and floors, damage furniture and fabrics, weaken drywall and plaster.

Structural Damage
