How to Cleanup Sewage Spillage

Never attempt to clean up raw sewage spillage yourself. Sewage is highly toxic, containing bacteria, viruses, parasites, and gases that pose serious health risks. This type of damage, known as "black water" or category 3 water damage, requires professional handling. If you are experiencing a sewage backup, it is crucial to call Renew Restoration. Our expert sewage cleanup process includes:

1. Initial Assessment and Safety Measures:  Evaluate the extent of the spill and isolate the area to prevent further contamination while wearing professional PPE gear.
2. Removal of Sewage and Contaminated Materials:  Use professional-grade pumps and vacuums to remove all standing sewage and carefully dispose of contaminated porous materials according to hazardous waste guidelines.
3. Cleaning and Sanitizing:  Cleaning the area with industrial-strength cleaners and disinfectants to eliminate pathogens and bacteria.
4. Drying and Dehumidifying :  Utilizing air movers, dehumidifiers, and air scrubbers to remove moisture and purify the air.
5. Restoration and Final Inspection:  Undertaking necessary repairs or reconstruction, including replacing drywall, flooring, and other structural elements.
