Dirty Water: The Dangers of Sewage Back-up

7/1/2020 (Permalink)

When sewage and unsanitary water make contact within your home, the issues are only just beginning. Sewage water is known for the diseases it carries and the potential health hazards they pose. A common misconception is that sewage water is only harmful if consumed, but that is far from the case. Frequently, hand to mouth contamination occurs from touching an infected item and then, sequentially, touching your mouth or face. Potentially deadly pathogens also permeate in the air you breathe. It is absolutely essential to have the right tools and cleaning materials to successfully remove the harmful contaminants and restore your home to a safe environment.
