While burst pipes, leaking faucets and torrential rains can all lead to extensive water damage to your property, nothing comes close to the damage caused by sewer backup. The contents that spill over from a sewer overflow are toxic and introduce harmful organisms into the surrounding environment. Not only do these organisms cause significant damage to property and loss of property value, they are also a serious health hazard.

If your sewage system is blocked or broken and there is a seepage, getting contaminated water cleanup done as quickly as possible is the only way to reduce the potential health hazards and cleanup costs. The longer the contamination is left unattended to, the greater the potential for growth and development of harmful bacteria that could lead to serious illnesses. Also, the longer it is neglected, the more the damage it will do to the surroundings. This means more complex cleaning up operations, which will take longer and cost much more. Depending on the extent of the damage it will also lower your property value drastically.

The only thing more important than getting the cleanup job done immediately is getting it done efficiently. If sewage is not completely removed and cleaned or not properly disinfected, the repair costs can escalate dramatically.
