What Causes Sewage Contamination?
- Storm Flooding and Backups: Heavy rainfall can overwhelm sewage systems, causing backups in homes.
- Malfunctioning Drainage Systems: Clogged or broken sewer lines can lead to sewage leaks and backups.
- Tree Root Infiltration: Tree roots can grow into sewer lines, causing cracks and blockages.
- Faulty Septic Systems: Improperly maintained septic systems can overflow and contaminate surrounding areas.
How Long Does Sewage Contamination Last?
The length of time sewage contamination lasts depends on several factors, including:
- The severity of the contamination: A larger spill will take longer to clean and disinfect than a small one.
- The type of surface contaminated: Porous materials like carpets and drywall absorb sewage and are more difficult to clean than non-porous surfaces.
- Moisture levels: Sewage contamination thrives in damp environments. Proper drying is crucial to eliminate the threat.
In an untreated situation, sewage contamination can persist for weeks or even months, posing a health risk to your family. Sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause a variety of illnesses, including:
- Gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea, vomiting)
- Skin infections
- Respiratory problems
