When you contact us about sewage damage, we respond promptly and dispatch a team of trained professionals to your property. Our team will assess the extent of the damage, identify the source of the sewage leak, and take immediate measures to stop any leakage.
The next step is to remove excess water and sewage from the affected areas using high-powered pumps and extraction equipment. Once the standing water is removed, the team will sanitize and decontaminate the area to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. They may use specialized cleaning agents and disinfectants.
Proper drying is crucial to prevent further damage and mold growth. The team will use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry out the affected spaces. Monitoring equipment may be used to ensure that moisture levels are within safe and acceptable limits.
All salvageable items and surfaces will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to ensure they are safe for use again. This step may involve the cleaning of walls, floors, furniture, carpets, and other affected materials using appropriate cleaning techniques and disinfectants.
After completing the cleanup and sanitation process, the team will assess the extent of structural and property damage. First Serve will then proceed with necessary repairs and restoration work, which may include repairing walls, replacing damaged flooring, and restoring any other affected elements to their pre-damage condition.
Dealing with sewage damage in your home can be a stressful and hazardous situation. While waiting for a professional sewage cleanup company to arrive, here are three essential tips to help you manage the situation and minimize further damage:
The first and most crucial step is to ensure the safety of yourself and your family. Sewage water contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can pose severe health risks. Always wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves, rubber boots, and a mask, when entering the affected areas. If you have open cuts or wounds, cover them securely to prevent any contact with contaminated water. Additionally, keep children and pets away from the affected areas until the professionals arrive.
Minimize any additional water usage in your home to prevent the sewage backup from worsening. Avoid flushing toilets, running sinks, or using any plumbing fixtures connected to the affected sewer line. This will help reduce the amount of sewage water spreading throughout your home and give the cleanup professionals a better chance to contain the damage upon their arrival. If possible, turn off the main water supply to your home to prevent any accidental water usage.
Try to isolate the areas impacted by the sewage backup to prevent the spread of contamination. Close doors leading to affected rooms and place towels or old rags at the base of the doors to create a temporary barrier. Open windows and use fans to improve ventilation and allow fresh air to circulate, which can help mitigate foul odors and promote drying. However, ensure that the windows and fans do not create cross-contamination by blowing air from the affected areas to clean ones.
Homeowner’s insurance typically covers sewage damage under specific circumstances. It often includes coverage for accidental or sudden discharge of sewage or water within the property due to issues like burst pipes or plumbing malfunctions. However, coverage may vary depending on the policy and the cause of the damage. Damage resulting from poor maintenance or negligence may not be covered. Additionally, sewage backup from the municipal sewer system might require a separate endorsement or policy. It’s crucial for homeowners to review their insurance policy carefully, understand its limitations, and consider additional coverage if necessary to ensure protection against sewage-related incidents.
