You might notice the smell first, followed by the sheer sense of panic that comes from something going wrong with your home. When you have a sewage backup problem in your house, you may have a hard time thinking clearly and coming up with a plan. Soil-Away will help you get rid of the mess, but it’s important to call quickly. The longer you delay, the more difficult the sewage cleanup process becomes.

Sewage Can Make Your Family Sick

Sewage carries bacteria and other harmful substances that can seriously harm your family members. Children and elderly family members have a higher risk of becoming ill from exposure to the sewage backup. However, anybody exposed to the sewage faces the risk of developing a stomach flu. There are at least 13 other diseases, including E. Coli, that are caused by the bacteria and viruses found in sewage. You want to hire a cleanup team to restore your home as quickly as possible to prevent potentially harmful illnesses.

The Longer You Wait, the Tougher the Sewage Cleanup

Liquids can travel through different spaces very quickly. The less time the sewage has to travel, the better. The longer you wait to call a cleaning crew, the more time the sewage has to burrow deeper into your structure and contents. During that time, sewage flows under doorways, finds cracks in walls, and sinks into soft surfaces. When sewage seeps deep into your home it makes the cleanup process more difficult. Don’t worry, our professionals possess the knowledge to help you eliminate sewer damage quickly.

Lasting Moisture Will Leave Mold

The problem of mold exists for all types of flooding in the home, not just for sewage cleanup. When moisture lingers for extended periods of time, mold has the opportunity to set in and grow. Therefore, the depth of your mold problem is equal to the length of time that moisture lingered in your home. You want to address this as quickly as possible, because mold is known to cause its own health problems. As such, you want to prevent as much mold as possible and remediate the mold that does show up in your house.
