Sewage Damage Emergency Tips

If you have items contaminated by flood waters or sewage spills, proper cleaning and disinfecting procedures should be followed to prevent illness. Raw sewage contains biological agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can cause serious illness and even death. Always presume that floodwater is contaminated with sewage.

Wear protective clothing such as rubber boots and waterproof gloves while cleaning up the spill or handling contaminated items.
Wash all linens and clothing in hot water or professionally dry clean.
Discard items that cannot be adequately cleaned in hot water or dry cleaned, such as mattresses, carpeting, wall coverings and upholstered furniture. Assume anything touched by sewage to be contaminated.
Do not track contaminated material into undamaged areas.
Do not attempt to decontaminate surfaces with sprays and other over-the-counter germicidal products, which may not fully disinfect contaminated surfaces.
