Why Sewage Leaks Are So Dangerous
Sewage water is considered to be “grossly contaminated.” It contains toxins, pathogens, and other harmful agents, such as bacteria. No matter how small the damage area is, sewage cleanup in San Francisco needs to occur right away. To prevent other areas from being contaminated with bacteria such as E-coli, thorough and prompt cleanup is essential.
What Is Done During Cleanup
Contact with sewage should only be done by trained professionals such as SWIFT Restoration Company. There are strict guidelines which must be adhered to when attempting sewage cleanup in San Francisco and we have the expertise to do it correctly. Protective gear needs to be worn, including disposable gloves, masks, and coveralls. We also have the specialized equipment needed for decontamination of the area, such as dehumidifiers and air scrubbers.
The most critical step to ensuring sewage cleanup in San Francisco is performed correctly is the removal and disposal of affected materials. This includes carpet pads, carpets, insulation, and drywall. If they are dried instead of being removed there is a high risk of contamination remaining in the area. It can also be almost impossible to remove the smell if materials are not destroyed. We include the following in the restoration procedure:
1. Assessment
2. Plan of action for treatment
3. Sewage and water extraction and removal
4. Destruction of materials which are non-salvageable
5. Drying equipment
6. Thorough cleanup and sanitization

2. Parasites
3. Viruses
