Sewage cleanup is a critical service for property owners facing the aftermath of sewage spills or backups. Professional Sewage Cleanup Services provide comprehensive solutions to safely and effectively restore affected areas to their pre-incident state.

### Cleanup and Disinfection

After a sewage incident, immediate cleanup is crucial to prevent further contamination and health hazards. Sewage Cleanup Services employ advanced equipment and techniques to:

– **Extract and remove sewage**: Powerful pumps and vacuums are used to remove contaminated water and solids, ensuring thorough removal.
– **Clean and disinfect surfaces**: All affected surfaces, including floors, walls, appliances, and furniture, are meticulously cleaned using hospital-grade disinfectants.
– **Ozone treatment**: This environmentally friendly process effectively removes odors and eliminates bacteria and viruses.

### Effects of Sewage Contamination

Sewage contamination poses various risks to human health and the environment:

– **Microbiological contamination**: Sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause illnesses such as gastroenteritis, hepatitis A, and E. coli infections.
– **Structural damage**: Sewage can seep into walls, flooring, and other building materials, causing structural damage and creating a breeding ground for mold and mildew.
– **Environmental contamination**: Untreated sewage can pollute water sources and soil, harming aquatic life and vegetation.

### Will Lime Clean Up Sewage?

Lime is a common cleaning agent with disinfectant properties. While it can temporarily reduce odors associated with sewage, it is **not** a complete solution for sewage cleanup. Lime can react with sewage, creating hazardous fumes and leaving behind a residue that can attract pests. Professional Sewage Cleanup Services use scientifically proven methods and specialized equipment to ensure effective and safe sewage removal.
