San Diego Emergency Sewage Cleanup

Sewage backups are some of the most stressful and overwhelming ordeals for any home or business owner. They are also extremely dangerous due to the number of pathogens, bacteria, and many other contaminants that raw sewage contains. If left unaddressed it can lead to permanent damage.

Leave it to the Professionals

We know that there are many situations in which a homeowner might forego calling a professional and try and solve problems on their own. However, when it comes to dealing with sewage cleanup, the health risks are too great for anyone other than a trained professional. Due to the many biohazards’ raw sewage contains there are many health risks exposure could pose, including:

Our sewage cleanup technicians have been trained to solve all types of sewage problems safely and efficiently. We at SDFR – San Diego Flood Restoration pride ourselves on providing our clients with exemplary cleanup services.

The Process

Each water damage event requires a specific scope. However, Generally speaking, the first step of the cleanup process is to remove all standing water followed by protecting all non-affected rooms and personal property.

Once this has been completed, we begin to sanitize & disinfect the entire area. Each worker is equipped with their personal protective equipment. We then can begin any removal of affected building materials and drying of the structure.

Causes of Sewage Backups

  • Tree roots can cause blockage and backups
  • Aging/Old sewage system
  • Heavy rains lead to sewage systems being overloaded and an overflow of water

Types of Contaminated Water

Category 1. “Clean Water” is from a source that poses no substantial harm to people. Water that overflowed while running your bath water, leaking from a supply line for an ice maker, After 48 hours, a Category 1 can become a Category 2.

Category 2. “Grey Waterposes health risks due to low to moderate levels of contamination of bacteria, or chemicals. This includes dirty water from washing machines, dishwashers, as well as leaks from water beds, broken aquariums and urine.  Category 2 becomes a Category 3 situation if left untreated for 2 days or more.

Category 3.Black Water” contains disease-causing organisms, toxins, viruses and parasites.  This is referred to as grossly contaminated. Typical black water conditions occur from a sewer back flow, a broken toilet bowl containing feces, and rising flood waters. Many serious diseases are likely to be present in rising flood waters.
