Sewage backflows are a severe health threat to
indoor air quality environment and also
severely affect people who reside in them. They can
particularly affect small children, the elderly, and
those with immune system or respiratory problems.
The longer the contamination continues to persist,
the greater the potential for microbial development.
These are some of the disease
causing organisms that thrive in sewage:
>
Hepatitis A > Respiratory Disease
> Bacteria
> Bacillary Dysentery
> Salmonella
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.
Fact: This
water contains contaminants such as viruses,
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.”
Fact: 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.
Fact: Not unless contaminated areas can be sealed
off to prevent cross-contamination of other areas.
