Sewage backups and overflows are among the most hazardous emergencies a property owner can face. Unlike clean water from a burst pipe, sewage contains pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other biohazards that pose immediate and serious health risks. Professional sewage cleanup is not optional — it's essential for protecting your health and your property.
The Dangers of Sewage Contamination
- Bacteria — E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter can cause severe gastrointestinal illness
- Viruses — Hepatitis A, Norovirus, and Rotavirus are commonly found in sewage
- Parasites — Giardia and Cryptosporidium can cause chronic digestive issues
- Mold spores — Sewage backups create ideal conditions for rapid mold growth
