Efficient Sewage Damage Cleanup after a Backup
If you find that sewage has backed up into your home it is important to start sewage damage cleanup immediately. The longer the sewage water is in your home the higher your chances of dangerous bacteria and disease spreading, as well as mold and damage to your property that could be very expensive to fix. There is no time to wait, since mold and bacteria can begin to multiply within hours of a backup.
If you were unaware before this happened that you are required to pay for all of the damages to your home by yourself, even if the cause of the backup was not your fault, then you are probably really shocked to find this out now. Even when the backup is in the main line owned and maintained by your city, you will have to pay for any sewage damage cleanup and repairs that are on your personal property. Unless you previously had sewage backup damage added into your homeowner's insurance policy, it is likely they will not cover it either.
Sewage damage cleanup is a messy project and if it is not done correctly could put your health in danger. Sewage water is highly toxic and can lead to the presence of tetanus and other diseases in your home. Damp surfaces not dried properly can also lead to mold which can take over your home and cause breathing problems, if not more serious health risks long term.
If you can't afford to hire someone to do sewage damage cleanup in your home or you feel it is on a small enough scale that you can do it effectively yourself, then you need to make sure you perform sewage damage cleanup that will leave the area sanitary and free of foul smells.
The first step is to remove any excess or flooded water from the area. You want to keep pets and children away from this area until sewage damage cleanup has been completed. You need a wet vacuum to suck up the water, so you will have to find somewhere to rent you one if you don't own one already. Never try to suck up water with a normal household vacuum cleaner and do not use any electricity in the area until you have completely dried the floors.
If the area has hard surface flooring you need to mop it with a strong soap and disinfectant. If you have hardwood floors or tile, be aware that sewage water can get trapped below the wood and cause permanent damage. If you call before the wood starts to buckle, there are sewage damage cleanup companies that have equipment now to get the water out from under the wood so it can dry out properly.
If you have carpeting in the area, you will need to steam clean it at least, if not pulling it up to either let it dry out or have it replaced altogether. Since carpet soaks up quickly, in most cases it is best to replace it. Any rugs or drapery that wet needs to be steamed or otherwise washed immediately.
Ductwork and wall materials may also need cleaned with a disinfectant and some may be permanently damaged and will need to be replaced.
