Sewage spills almost always happen without warning, and each needs to be treated as an emergency. A sewage leak or backup can be caused by a blocked sewer line, rain-induced overflow, or an aging sewer system. Sewage cleanup can also refer to a severe washing machine backup or a broken water line. These kinds of critical issues should always be handed over to a professional cleanup company like RestorePro to minimize the risk of further damage, lingering odors, and, most importantly, severe illness.
Sewage cleanup doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Read on to see why it’s critical to leave the job in the hands of the pros where it belongs.
A Fast Response is Critical
Time is one of the most crucial factors of successful sewage spill treatment. Once you’ve identified a sewage leak or backup, your next step is to call RestorePro.

Illness Prevention
Contaminated water can cause serious illness due to a host of bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microbes, as well as toxic chemicals.

Even if the area seems clean visibility, decontamination is essential as the area will still be harboring these dangerous toxic microbes.

Not only is illness a risk, but there are also other considerations. Sewage water brings with it extremely unpleasant odors that can be difficult to remove.
