Sewer Backup Restoration
How to Safely Remove, Disinfect & Dry Properly
When sewers back up into homes, the damaged area must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to reduce the risk of disease. The most sanitary method is to use truck mount extraction by a carpet cleaning or water restoration company. The humidity in the damaged area should also be lowered by opening up the house, removing standing waste-water, and using commercial dehumidifiers. Additionally, pulling back carpet & drywall, as well as the baseboards should be opened to allow circulation. The contents of the damaged area should then be sorted to separate salvageable furnishings from unusable debris. Materials that were exposed to the waste-water, and cannot be thoroughly steam cleaned or disinfected, should be disposed. All potentially contaminated food items, cosmetics, stuffed animals, and baby toys should be discarded. Soiled clothing and small throw rugs should be thoroughly washed in warm or hot water, or with bleach if possible. Carpet padding will need to be removed & replaced. And if cleaned quickly, carpet can be salvaged with a deep hot water extraction cleaning. Discarded items should be sealed in heavy plastic garbage bags and disposed.Why Use a Professional Cleanup Company?
If damage was not cleaned or dried properly by a professional, or waiting too long (approx. 24hrs), you run the high risk of doing extensive damage. This would require the removal and replacement of damaged wallboard and wall insulation to avoid indoor air quality problems later. Wallboard acts like a sponge, drawing moisture up above water level. It becomes very fragile if it stays wet for long and will fall apart when bumped. Even if the area is dried out, contaminants may have gotten up behind the drywall and dried inside. Microorganisms can penetrate deep into soaked porous materials, such as wood and drywall, and continue to damage these materials long after the overflow event is over. Even after everything has dried out, these microorganisms can later be released into the air and trigger allergic reactions when inhaled. Wooden wall studs and sills probably won’t need to be replaced if they are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and allowed to dry properly. Since the studs and sills will be covered by new wallboard and painted, they will be removed from direct human contact. The drying out process can take several weeks in an enclosed area such as a basement or crawl space. The growth of microorganisms will continue as long as the humidity remains high. If the damaged area is not cleaned and dried out properly, a musty odor (signifying the continued growth of microorganisms) can remain long after the sewage overflow.-
