Sewage damage. Those are two words that homeowners dread. Not only is sewer damage incredibly smelly, but it can also severely damage your home and your health. Whether it be from a weather event, such as flooding, damage to a septic system, or a backed up sewer, sewage damage can wreak havoc on a home.
Dangers of Sewage Damage
1. Sewage water is riddled with bacteria, fungus, toxins, and parasites that can cause serious health risks.
2. Sewage water can seriously damage the interior of your home. And the longer the putrid water is left to sit, the more extensive the damage becomes, slowly seeping into walls, carpets, and other porous materials.
