Sewer Backup Questions Answered for Malabar, FL
Should I call a plumber or a cleanup company first?
If sewage is still coming up, a plumber may need to stop the source. If sewage is already on the floor, a cleanup team can start containing it at once. Many property owners call both, and it does not matter much which is first. Sewer backup companies and plumbers often work one after the other on the same job.
How do I clean sewage off concrete?
Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.
Can sewage backup make me sick even after it is cleaned up?
If the cleanup missed contaminated materials, germs and odor can linger. That is why crews remove porous materials, disinfect every surface they touched and inspect the work. Thorough removal is what lowers the risk.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
Small jobs may be finished in a day, while larger ones with tear-out, drying and odor treatment take longer. The time depends on the area affected and what had to be removed. The crew can tell you what to expect after assessing the space.
What illnesses can raw sewage cause?
Sewage can carry germs such as E. coli, norovirus, hepatitis A and Giardia. They spread through skin contact, splashes and hand to mouth contact. Washing well and wearing protection reduce the risk, but removal by a crew reduces it most.
Why does drywall have to be removed after sewage?
Drywall is porous and holds contamination that can spread germs and odor long after the surface looks clean. Crews usually cut out wall board that sewage touched, and often take out a margin above the wet mark to reach clean material.
