HEALTH HAZARDS OF SEWAGE LEAKS
Sewage is often referred to as Blackwater or a Category 3 water damage situation. Because of the nature of sewage, it can cause very serious health risks almost immediately. This is because sewage contains bacteria and pathogens that are considered grossly unsanitary. In the event that you have a sewage leak on your hands, it's very important to make sure you avoid or at least minimize contact so you don't get sick. Sewage contamination is considered a biohazard, so it's important to take the necessary precautions and have professionals come clean up the sewage as quickly as possible.

SEWAGE LEAKS CAN CAUSE EXTENSIVE WATER DAMAGE
Water damage on it's own is difficult to manage, and adding sewage to the situation makes it even more difficult to remediate correctly. Sewage damage must be properly contained, sanitized, and dried out. If any moisture is left over, this can create pockets of evaporated sewage that can get into difficult-to-reach areas such as:
- underneath floorboards
- basements
- attics
- crawlspaces
- between walls
- insulation
When sewage moisture reaches these areas, it traps the bacteria, pathogens, and other harmful contaminants which can lead to putrid odors. If you're in a humid area, this can even lead to the growth of mold colonies in as little as 48-72 hours. If this happens, your home must be properly dried with professional-grade dehumidifiers and other specialized restoration sewage damage restoration equipment.
