The dangers associated with sewer cleanup should not be taken lightly. A Sewage spill contains pathogenic agents and biohazards in the form of bacteria and fungi that can be spread to humans through ingestion, skin contact, and inhalation. Contact these agent types can result in diseases such as gastroenteritis, dermatitis, infectious hepatitis, asthma and more. For a complete list of diseases contact the Department of Health.

A successful sewage cleanup requires a team of professionals who are trained in sewage clean-up projects and are certified by the Institute of inspection, cleaning, and restoration certification standards or IICRC standards. These standards provide the assurance of a cost effective, complete and safe restoration service. IICRC standards and a timely response effort will provide the guidelines to classify the spill as sanitary or unsanitary, limit the property damage, address health and safety laws and allow your cleanup to proceed in a smooth and cost effective manner.
