Sewage clean-up requires a strong stomach but also a cool head. A professional sewage remediator will never come into physical contact with any contaminated, material as he or she will be properly suited and will have the appropriate respiratory equipment for protection.

Correct remediation will ensure that microbial matter is not aerosolised but contained, captured, removed and all surfaces cleaned and treated with anti-microbials

The Critical Path for Sewage Remediation:

• Our Senior Consultant, an Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP), will inspect the loss and establish a protocol for remediation.  Supervisors and Technicians are not qualified to set a work plan for sewage cleanup (Review the IICRC S 500- see information below)
• Our Certified Technicians have been scientifically trained to protect themselves and building occupants during the cleanup and sanitization of buildings that have had sewage floods.  Negatively pressurized containment of the affected area will be established.
• Organic matter and Category 3 water (Black Water) will be extracted.
• The affected area will be sanitized by low pressure washing, an anti-microbial foaming, agitation and multi stage rinse procedure know by professionals in the restoration industry as the “Pittsburgh Protocol”.
• Structural drying to pre-loss condition.
• Post Remediation swab testing to confirm the absence of the 3 major sewage indicator bacteria types.

Clean-up and Decontamination:

• Water Jetting
• Sewer and drain cleaning
• Underground tank
• Pit cleaning.
• Wet vacuuming.
