Sewage Cleanup Services by Advanced 24/7 Restoration: Restoring Your Home and Health

Dealing with sewage backup or contamination is one of the most unpleasant and hazardous situations a homeowner or business owner can face. Whether caused by a plumbing issue, a natural disaster, or a broken sewer line, sewage can quickly spread throughout your property, carrying harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that pose significant health risks. At Advanced 24/7 Restoration, we provide professional sewage cleanup services that help restore your property to a safe, habitable condition quickly and effectively.

Why Sewage Cleanup is Crucial

Sewage contamination presents immediate risks not only to the structural integrity of your property but also to the health of those who inhabit it. Sewage water contains harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause serious illnesses. If not addressed quickly and properly, sewage contamination can lead to long-term health problems and expensive property damage.

Additionally, raw sewage can contain hazardous materials such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals, all of which can further complicate the cleanup process. Given the complex nature of sewage cleanup, it’s essential to rely on professionals who have the necessary expertise, equipment, and safety protocols to safely remove the waste and restore your property.

Common Causes of Sewage Damage

Sewage damage can occur due to a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

The Risks of Sewage Exposure

Exposure to raw sewage can have significant health consequences. The contaminants in sewage can lead to:

• Gastrointestinal Illnesses: Bacteria and viruses in sewage can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.
• Respiratory Problems: Mold and bacteria can cause respiratory issues, particularly for individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems.
• Skin Infections: Direct contact with sewage water can result in skin rashes or infections.
• Long-Term Health Issues: Prolonged exposure to harmful sewage contaminants can lead to more serious conditions, such as hepatitis, cholera, or other infectious diseases.

To avoid these health risks, it’s essential to address sewage contamination immediately with professional sewage cleanup services.

The Sewage Cleanup Process at Advanced 24/7 Restoration

At Advanced 24/7 Restoration, we take a meticulous and thorough approach to sewage cleanup to ensure your property is restored safely and efficiently. Our team is fully trained in handling sewage damage and follows industry best practices to protect both your property and your health.

1. Initial Assessment and Inspection

The first step in sewage cleanup is a comprehensive assessment of the damage. Our team will arrive at your property as quickly as possible to evaluate the extent of the sewage contamination. We inspect the area for sewage water, identify potential hazards, and check for areas that may require special attention, such as damaged plumbing or compromised structural elements.

Our experts also use moisture detection tools and infrared cameras to identify hidden sewage contamination in walls, floors, and other hard-to-reach areas. This ensures that we address all sources of contamination and prevent any future issues.

2. Containment and Safety Measures

Once we’ve assessed the situation, we take immediate action to contain the sewage to prevent it from spreading further. We use physical barriers and specialized equipment, such as negative air pressure systems, to isolate the affected areas from the rest of the property. This containment process prevents sewage from migrating to other rooms or spaces in your home or business.

We also take extra precautions to protect the health and safety of everyone involved in the cleanup. Our team wears personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, masks, boots, and other protective gear, to minimize the risk of exposure to harmful contaminants.

3. Sewage Removal and Extraction

The next step is the removal of sewage water from the affected areas. We use industrial-grade pumps and wet vacuums to extract standing sewage water quickly and efficiently. This process is critical in reducing the time sewage is allowed to sit in your property, as prolonged exposure can cause further damage and increase health risks.

During the sewage removal process, we focus on extracting as much water as possible, including water that has penetrated into porous materials like carpets, upholstery, and wood flooring. In some cases, we may need to remove and dispose of heavily contaminated materials that cannot be salvaged, such as carpet padding or drywall, to prevent the spread of bacteria and mold.

4. Cleaning and Disinfection

Once the sewage water is removed, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected areas. Our team uses EPA-approved cleaning agents that are specifically designed to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens found in sewage. We sanitize all surfaces, including floors, walls, and any items that may have come into contact with sewage water.

During this process, we also use specialized air scrubbers and dehumidifiers to ensure that the air quality in your property is safe. These machines help remove airborne contaminants, including mold spores, which can thrive in the humid conditions caused by sewage backups.

5. Drying and Dehumidification

Sewage contamination often leaves behind excess moisture, which can cause further damage to your property and encourage mold growth. After the cleanup and disinfection process, we use powerful air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry the affected areas. This step helps prevent mold, mildew, and structural damage from moisture.

By drying the area completely, we also help eliminate any lingering odors that may result from sewage contamination, leaving your home or business smelling fresh and clean.

6. Final Inspection and Restoration

Once the sewage cleanup process is complete, we perform a final inspection to ensure that your property is completely restored and safe for occupancy. We check for any remaining contamination, moisture, or odors and address any issues that may have been overlooked.

If necessary, we assist with the restoration of affected areas, including repairing plumbing systems, replacing flooring, and restoring damaged drywall. Our goal is to return your property to its original condition, ensuring that it is safe and habitable once again.
