Sewage Cleanup
A sewage backup creates a stressful and emotional situation
Sewage leaks and backups can present significant property loss and serious potential health hazards, particularly for small children, the elderly, and those with immune system or respiratory problems.
Fast response is crucial. The longer the contamination continues to persist, the greater the potential for microbial development.
A prompt response to sewer backups is also important to reduce cleanup costs and minimize contamination time.
Some sewage backup situations may be easily cleaned up. However, in most cases a restoration team should be called in to provide a thorough clean-up, beyond just what you can see. Superb Restoration Services brings the know-how to restore your property to a safe and sanitary condition following sewage backup.
Diseases that can result from microorganisms found in sewage:
> Hepatitis A > Respiratory Disease
> Bacteria > Bacillary Dysentery
> Salmonella > Balontidiasis
OUR RAPID RESPONSE RESTORATION TEAM CAN BE ON SITE WITHIN 30 MINUTES.

HOW INFORMED ARE YOU?
The institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) offers these facts to dispel some typical myths:
Myth # 1
Sewage from oceans, lakes or rivers is clean.
This water contains contaminants such as microorganisms, bacteria and pesticides. Trapped inside walls or under floor coverings, it doesn't take long to become a “smelly” health hazard.
Myth #2
Sewage-saturated carpets can be “saved.”
Absolutely not! Porous materials, such as carpet, pad, upholstery, bedding, wicker, paper goods, or fabrics that can’t be washed in hot water, must be disposed of safely.
Myth #3
Partially sewage-flooded buildings are safe.
Not unless contaminated areas can be sealed off to prevent cross-contamination of other areas. Only trained professionals using specialized equipment are qualified to restore sewage damage
