SEWAGE TIPS

Water Damage Restoration Westchester NY

Manage Waste Safely

Dealing with sewage problems is never fun.

Here are some tips that won’t make the job fun, but will make it a lot easier:

1Health & Safety Precautions

Avoid using any items that have come into contact with sewage until they have been professionally sanitized and disinfected.

If you or another household member has contacted sewage, consider visiting a doctor—especially if you start feeling unwell. Sewage contains harmful toxins and microorganisms that can cause serious health complications, illnesses, and diseases.

Avoid direct contact with sewage. It contains dangerous microorganisms and disease-causing bacteria that are harmful to your health.

If anyone in the household has a weakened immune system, avoid staying in the home until it has been professionally treated, sanitized, and deemed safe. Infants, young children, elderly people, and those with illnesses should stay away until the environment is safe.

2Professional Response & Restoration

If it is safe to do so, stop the flow of sewage and contact a licensed plumber to repair the source of the leak. Then contact Bowerman Cleaning & Restoration for professional cleanup and restoration.

3Insurance & Documentation

Contact your insurance agency and file a damage claim. The insurance agency may send a property adjuster to assess the damages. Before calling, review your policy, including your deductible and any policy limits.

Maintain a detailed list of all items damaged or destroyed by the sewage. Save receipts when possible and keep a record of which items need repair or replacement.
