Sewage Back up Process

When dealing with a sewage back up you want to make sure you hire the right company for the job.  Here at, SERVPRO of St. Clair Shores we have only trained professionals working for you.  We follow the IICRC S-500 standards when handling every job.  Ever wonder why some people leave their carpet, while a neighbor might be cutting theirs out.  Its hiring the right contractor for the job!  Here are a few things the S500 states regarding Sewage backups. 

Sewage contains a variety of pathogenic – disease causing – fungi, bacteria, viruses and parasites. Anyone who works on sewage losses must have updated vaccinations, including one for Hepatitis B.

 Highly absorbent sewage-saturated materials, such as carpet, pad, upholstery, bedding, wicker, paper or even fabrics that can’t be washed in hot water (130°F/54°C) for at least 10 minutes, must be contained and disposed of properly.  This goes for sewage-saturated drywall, insulation and several other structural materials too.  There’s simply too great a health risk involved if any of these materials are dried in place and cleaned only.
