Sewage Cleanup & Category 3 Water Damage Restoration

Below are examples of the types of contaminated water that can affect your home through faulty plumbing systems:

• Gray Water: This is also known as sullage and is generally defined as wastewater. This water is generated from washed hands in face basins, showers, and baths, which is then recycled for secondary use (for example, toilet flushing, constructed wetlands, and landscape irrigation). Gray water can also include water discharge from dishwashers, laundry machines, and kitchen sinks.
• Blackwater: More unsanitary than gray water, black water contains harmful bacteria and fungi. Black water generally comes from sources such as flushed toilets.
• Clean water: This refers to water that has backed up but does not pose an immediate or substantial threat to humans or animals. This type of backup originates from a tub or sink that accidentally overflows, has broken water lines, or leaks from appliances. Without timely treatment, clean water can quickly develop into gray water or black water.

You should not attempt the cleanup of dried sewage. Raw sewage is hazardous waste and must be handled by experienced professionals using proper PPE, industrial-grade sewage cleanup equipment and tools, commercial-grade disinfectants, and other supplies. If your home has been flooded with raw sewage, to safely and thoroughly clean up dried sewage, here’s what you need to do:

1. Contact a Professional restoration company certified to clean up sewage, like Eagle ProServices.
2. Approve the start of the professional cleanup and restoration process.
3. Prepare to enjoy having your freshly cleaned home or business fully restored to its pre-sewage-flood condition and our workmanship quality guarantee.

Flooding caused by sudden rainstorms and river floods can result in sewage systems becoming overwhelmed and backing up into residential and commercial properties, causing a sewage overflow. If this happens, you should look to hire sewage cleanup services. 

Leaking or cracked pipes can also be the source of a raw sewage leak in your property. Another cause may be a bit of a surprise. Trees. Yes, tree roots will seek out water and be drawn to the water in your waste pipes. The roots will damage the pipes over time and inevitably cause breakages or cracks, allowing sewage to escape. Whatever the cause of the spill/leak or backup. Hiring a sewage cleanup service as soon as you notice it is important to avoid potential effects on your health

Raw sewage carries with it many dangers. Sewage is full of harmful bacteria, viruses, and disease-causing pathogens. This means that coming into contact with it poses genuine risks to your health. The most common symptoms of sewage exposure are nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. These symptoms will usually go in a matter of days or weeks and pose no other risks to your health. Avoiding the spill and quickly hiring a sewage waste cleanup service will help mitigate the risks and chance of health issues.

Sewage can also cause long-term health effects, especially if exposed for a long time. Our rapid response service can ensure that sewage spills are cleared as quickly as possible. This will reduce the chances of adverse effects on your health. The long-term effects can range from chronic headaches to decreased motor function. This emphasizes how important it is to hire a professional sewage cleaning. Sooner rather than later.
