Why Taking Quick Action Is Crucial for Your Home and Health

Back-ups within sewers are some of the most gruesome and dangerous situations a homeowner can face. When sewage bursts through floor drains and overflows into your basement, damage to your property and health becomes a huge risk. It is indeed a biohazard emergency that cannot wait for anything but prompt, professional assistance.

Personal Property Threats

Sewage removal in Bellevue needs can result from backups caused by blockage or damage to the pipes. When sewage floods a basement, it can quickly destroy the structure and belongings. Most of the stuff stored in a house's basement includes furniture, electronics, documents, and family keepsakes, mostly destroyed when they come into contact with sewage.

Health Risks

Perhaps even more alarming than property damage is the serious health hazard sewage backup presents. Sewage can contain hazardous bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that cause grave illnesses. Direct contact with the polluted water or air in a flooded area could give way to serious health risks. Even when the sewage does not appear to be contaminated, its full hazards cannot be known without professional testing and cleaning. 

The Need for Fast, Professional Cleanup

When sewage enters your home, every minute counts. The longer the water sits, contaminated, the greater the dangers to your property and health. A professional sewage removal team, like AdvantaClean of The Eastside, will follow a thorough process that includes safely removing all traces of sewage and contaminants. Key steps in this process include:

  • Water Extraction: Our unique pumps remove standing water, debris, and raw sewage in the basement.

  • Contaminated Material Disposal:  The affected materials, like carpeting and drywall, get removed and discarded. 

  • Biohazard Cleaning: We thoroughly clean salvageable, non-porous surfaces that have been exposed to sewage using commercial-grade disinfectants and cleaning products.
