Few accidents are more stressful than sewage backups, and it’s not just the smell and mess that make raw sewage floods a headache. Bacteria, pathogens, and other contaminants are serious risks to those living in the home. Additionally, the causes of sewage backups aren’t always easily noticeable, so the full extent of the problem is often a mystery until professional sewage-cleanup services, like Orange County Restoration Services, arrive.
While many home- and business owners might admirably attempt to clean the mess themselves, the health risks and chances of spreading contaminants are simply too great for untrained individuals to risk—even if the problem seems small.
Here are some of the various toxins and contaminants present in raw sewage:
Common Biohazards:
Professional sewage cleanup involves a combination of strict sanitary protocols and specific equipment designed for the task of raw sewage cleanup. Whether the backup was caused by a clog or pipe rupture; only professionals like Orange County Restoration Services, are equipped and experienced enough to effectively address the origin of the problem.
Raw-sewage floods, or Category III accidents, can result from a number of problems. Some of these issues are preventable while others are completely out of the home- or business owner’s control.
Improper disposal of certain materials, including grease, oil, and large objects in sinks and toilets, is the most common cause for backups. Other sources include broken or misaligned pipes. Tree roots may be rupturing underground pipes. This is a particularly common occurrence—especially if the pipes are old, or comprised of soft metals or clay. Heavy rains are another frequent cause of sewage backups as the overflow of water, along with tree branches, leaves, and other debris, flood piping systems and create further problems.

Most people don’t understand the severity of mold and the types of complications and problems mold can create. And not everyone is allergic to the same mold. Most people don’t realize they have a reaction to mold until it already has happened.
When there is a water, fire or mold loss in your home, homeowners have a lot on their plate and to focus on. Typically your insurance company will approve and cover the cost of an approved Contents company to pack, clean and store your belongings. Many times some of the contents in your home are damaged, so having a professional company document the damage is crucial for your insurance company to cover the loss.
