When sewer pipes become blocked, the thick, black water that presents as sewage is a health danger, and is extremely unsanitary as it consists of contaminants such as pathogens, bacteria, and viruses that can present a risk of severe illness if exposed to humans or animals. If you have a sewage backup in your basement, or your toilet has backed up, you will need to repair it quickly, or you will end up with sewage all over your home or business. Knowing what causes sewer backups, however, may help you avoid a hazardous situation in your basement, home or business. Following is a list of items that may help to prevent and deal with sewage backups:
Our methods for Category 3 water (also known as sewer and contaminated water backup) cleanup, adhering to the IICRC industry standards, consists of:
1. To ensure the safety of all occupants and personnel by restricting jobsite traffic to restoration and cleanup personnel only to help prevent any health related problems.
2. Assessment of the jobsite and Health and Safety checks.
3. Ensure all restoration employees are supplied with and use the proper personal protection equipment (PPE). This includes, but isn’t limited to the following:
4. Engineering controls put in place and condemnatory barricades used (if needed) guarding against cross-contamination.
5. Removing any type of potential safety risks if at all possible.
6. Eradication of bulk water, dirt, and contaminates.
7. Disposal of all contaminated porous and semi-porous materials that are not able to be saved, which can include but are not limited to:
8. Cleaning methods put in place and the use of EPA certified biocides and antimicrobials
9. Physical cleaning of all remaining structure items
10. It is recommended to hire a third party Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) for a safety clearance test to ensure the jobsite is returned to pre-loss condition for health and safety.
11. All items and structure affected by the water to be dried and returned to pre-loss dry conditions
12. Post restoration cleaning of all tools and machinery used
13. Disposal of all remaining materials removed from the site
