Sewer Backup Questions Answered for Eagle River, WI
What illnesses can raw sewage cause?
Sewage can carry germs such as E. coli, norovirus, hepatitis A and Giardia. They spread through skin contact, splashes and hand to mouth contact. Washing well and wearing protection reduce the risk, but removal by a crew reduces it most.
Why does drywall have to be removed after sewage?
Drywall is porous and holds contamination that can spread germs and odor long after the surface looks clean. Crews usually cut out wall board that sewage touched, and often take out a margin above the wet mark to reach clean material.
What is Category 3 water, also called black water?
Category 3 water is the most contaminated level, and sewage is the standard example. It can carry disease-causing germs and should never be cleaned with household supplies alone. Flood water that touched sewage is treated the same way.
What are the signs of a sewage leak?
Watch for a rotten-egg or sewer smell, wet spots or stains on floors and walls, unusually green grass over a pipe, and multiple drains backing up at the same time. If any of these show up, keep people away from the area and have the cause checked.
How do I clean sewage off concrete?
Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.
Can I clean sewage myself?
A very small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots, eye protection and a disinfectant used by label directions. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a large area needs professional cleanup, because hidden contamination is hard to see.
