How Does BioClean Handle Sewage Backup Cleanup
Sewage backup can be really unpleasant and even harmful to your health. It’s also one of the grossest situations property managers come face-to-face with; imagine raw sewage that keeps floating there and refuses to budge, stinking up the place! It contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that pose serious health risks. When sewage floods your home/business, you need professional sewage backup cleanup services right away.
We at BioClean specialize in rodent waste removal and cleaning up sewage backups. So, here’s how we handle this dangerous situation with professionalism and expertise.
Initial Assessment for Sewage Backup Cleaning
Did you know that 46 million Americans don’t have access to safe drinking water? We deal with sewage in drinking water and other issues when property managers delay cleanups. When we arrive at the scene, we wear the right PPE: respirators, gloves, boots, and protective suits to prevent exposure to harmful contaminants. We check the extent of the damage and identify the source of the backup. We also determine which areas have been contaminated.
That’s how we create a comprehensive plan that addresses all health risks on your property.
Water Extraction and Contaminated Material Removal
We start our sewage backup cleanup process by removing all standing sewage water using industrial-grade extraction equipment. No regular wet vacuums! We use professional pumps to get rid of hazardous waste. This waste removal happens quickly, so we can stop contaminants from spreading everywhere. We also remove all porous materials that have absorbed sewage.
This includes carpet, padding, drywall, insulation, & fabric furniture. This sewage just can’t be cleaned from porous surfaces; keeping these items would leave pathogens on your property.
Deep Cleaning and Disinfection of Affected Areas
Once we remove standing water and contaminated materials, we thoroughly clean all remaining hard surfaces as well. For this, we use EPA-registered disinfectants that kill bacteria and viruses properly. Our professionals scrub floors and walls, not to mention baseboards and any surfaces that came into contact with sewage. From removing cat urine from carpets to eliminating human body fluids that came out of a rotting corpse, we specialize in handling all biohazards.
As one of the best sewer backup cleanup companies in San Diego, we pay special attention to hidden parts of the house where contaminants might’ve spread, such as under flooring and behind walls. That’s why we make sure that your house is now free of these disinfectants.
Drying and Dehumidification to Prevent Mold
An important part of our sewage backup cleanup process is the removal of moisture If you don’t treat this moisture properly, it creates ideal conditions for mold growth. This growth can start within 24 to 48 hours. That’s why we at BioClean use industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to remove this moisture. That’s why your indoor air quality stays pristine.
Final Inspection and Odor Removal
Sewage problems have become so widespread that even the Potomac River has fallen victim to them. We understand that even after the sewage backup has been cleared, the odor remains. Then, we check moisture levels and test surfaces for remaining contaminants. We make sure that all areas have been properly cleaned & disinfected. Also, we use specialized deodorization techniques to make your property smell nice, so your tenants or visitors won’t complain about the smell.
If our inspection confirms the property is safe, we provide documentation that the cleanup meets all health and safety regulations. This documentation is important for insurance claims.
