The Sewage Clean Up Process

Friday, February 24th, 2012

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.

So if you ever become the unfortunate victim of sewage damage, it is important to hire a reliable, qualified sewage damage restoration company, a company like Atlantic Environmental Solutions (AES).

Leaking Sewage Can Threaten Your Family’s Health

Friday, January 6th, 2012

It is one of the last things you would ever expect or ever want to happen; a sewer pipe bursts or your septic system begins to leak, filling your basement with raw sewage. Not only will this result in a nearly unbearable smell, forcing you to evacuate your home until the problem is dealt with, but it can also be extremely hazardous to your health.

Sewage damage can contain numerous strains of bacteria and other microorganisms. If left untreated, these bacteria can be transported throughout your home or business simply by coming in contact with clothing or shoes. This puts you, your customers/clients, your employees, and most importantly your family in serious danger.

A fast, complete response to reduce health risks is essential. So trust your home restoration or business restoration to a professional sewage remediation company with years of experience, like Atlantic Environmental Solutions.

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

After a long day at work, the last thing you want to come home to is a flooded basement. But it could be worse; that flood could be caused by a backed up sewer pipe, meaning raw sewage is seeping into your basement. If this is the case, the last thing you have to worry about is water damage. Sewage contains bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause serious health issues for you and your family.
