Sewage Cleanup Service provides professional sewage cleanup and disinfection to ensure the safety and well-being of your property and its occupants.
### Cleanup and Disinfection
After a sewage backup or flood, a comprehensive cleanup and disinfection process is necessary to eliminate contaminants and prevent further damage. Here’s the general process involved:
– **Extraction and Removal:** Contaminated water and sewage are extracted and removed using specialized pumps and equipment, ensuring thorough extraction even from hidden areas.
– **Disinfection and Sanitation:** Surfaces and affected areas are thoroughly disinfected using EPA-approved disinfectants to kill harmful bacteria and viruses. This step minimizes the risk of disease transmission and ensures long-term safety.
– **Deodorization and Odor Control:** Lingering sewage odor is neutralized using professional deodorizing techniques, eliminating unpleasant smells and restoring a healthy indoor environment.
### Will Lime Clean Up Sewage?
Lime is commonly used as a disinfectant and deodorizer but is not recommended as a primary cleaning agent for sewage spills. While lime can neutralize some odors and acidity, it does not effectively remove or kill harmful bacteria and viruses present in sewage.
Instead, professional sewage cleanup services use specialized disinfectants that are proven to kill pathogens and prevent disease transmission. These disinfectants are designed to penetrate porous surfaces, ensuring thorough disinfection and protection of your health and property.
