The Dangers of Sewage Backups

Of all the types of water damage, a sewage backup (Category 3 water) is the most dangerous. It introduces highly contaminated water laden with pathogens into your living environment.

Severe Health Risks

Sewage water can contain viruses, bacteria, and parasites that cause severe illnesses, including Hepatitis, E. Coli, and Salmonella. Direct contact or even inhaling airborne particles can be hazardous.

Why DIY is a Bad Idea

Standard household cleaners are not strong enough to sanitize a sewage spill. Furthermore, porous materials like carpets, pad, and drywall that absorb sewage must usually be removed and disposed of properly according to biohazard protocols.

Professional Biohazard Cleanup

Restoration 1 technicians use specialized personal protective equipment (PPE), hospital-grade disinfectants, and strict containment procedures to safely clean, sanitize, and restore areas affected by sewage backups.
