How can you help to reduce sewer overflows?

Sewage is a water-carried waste in solution or suspension that is intended to be removed from a community. Domestic households, industrial and agricultural practices produce wastewater, which can cause pollution of many surroundings, lakes and rivers. It is also known as wastewater. It is more than 99% water and is characterized by volume or rate of flow, physical condition, chemical and toxic constituents! It is harmful for human health and is needed to get rid off as soon as possible.

So how can you help to reduce sewer overflow?

• Take care of cracked pipes: Tree roots can invade even the smallest cracks in pipes. As the roots grow, so does the size of the cracks, take care of broken pipes and growing trees. As they say, precaution is better than cure.

• Broken pipes: Broken sewer pipes not only let stormwater in, they can also allow untreated waste to enter the soil and create unhealthy conditions. If you suspect broken pipes, have your system inspected by Bio Cleanse Pty. Ltd.

• Boundary traps: This acts as an inspection point on the sewerage system. It also stops sewer odours from reaching the property. 

• Direct connection: Sometimes direct connection to the sewerage system may seem easier. The effect of doing so is overflow of diluted raw sewage further down the system. This is a major cause of sewer overflow.

• Inspection holes: Poorly fitted, cracked or broken inspection holes on the main sewer system can let water into the sewerage system.

• Low-lying gullies: A gully is an open pipe which is covered with a grill. It is used to release any backflow from blocked sewer pipes and make sure it doesn't overflow inside the house.

Guidelines to prevent Mould damage

Moulds are a large and diverse number of fungal species where the growth of hyphae results in discoloration and a fuzzy appearance, especially on food and wet areas. Moulds cause biodegradation of natural materials, which can be unwanted when it becomes food spoilage or damage to property. 

Here are some guidelines on how to go about preventing mould growth in your house or work place:

1) In some cases, mould growth may not be visible or obvious; it may be possible that mould grows on hidden surfaces such as the rear of a dry wall, the top of ceiling tiles, underside of carpets and pads, etc. There is a need to check for such areas before looking at the more obvious options. 

2) You are required to clean and dry, wet or damp spots within 48 hours.

3) Maintain low indoor humidity; below 60% relative humidity.

4) Perform regular inspections and maintenance and keep it as scheduled.

5) Keep heating, ventilation, and air conditioning drip pans clean, flowing properly, and unobstructed.

6) Building materials and furnishings that are contaminated with mould growth and are not salvageable should be discarded and not kept to be recovered. 

7) And last but not the least, always use gloves and eye protection when cleaning up mould! 

Hope these tips will help you in getting rid of small mould problems. At the same time there is a need for professional help for a bigger and more dangerous situation of mould damage recovery operations.

5 quick tips for a compulsive hoarder

                                     

A very basic description of a compulsive hoarder is someone unable to dispose of excess or unused things to the point where their belongings are clogging their living space.

Making a cup of tea, working in an office or sleeping in their own bed becomes impossible because the spaces designed for living in have become storehouses.

Here are some basic tips for a compulsive hoarder:

• If you have a gift for someone, give it to them in a timely manner.
• Don't buy stuff to make up for your feelings. The disorder never goes away, so when you make a purchase, think about it you really need it or will use it.
•  You are not the only one that this disorder affects. This disorder affects millions of people. You are not alone. It is best to ask for help, as this is a very difficult and stressful thing to do. It will take time, so do not give up if you can’t do a lot in one day.
• Make sure you are not stressed when you tackle the clutter. Stay relaxed. Starting early in the morning is the best time to start a project like clutter control, after you wake up refreshed.
• This is very emotional, stressful, and difficult to deal with. Challenge yourself to do more than you think you can, but do not work yourself to the point that you are unwilling to work with your disorder and other people who are trying to help you.

Hope these few points will help you to have a better and organized life in the future!

Guidelines for water damage

Water damage can strike in the form of natural disasters like floods, cyclones, hurricanes or as a result of human activities like fire fighting, broken water pipes, leakages, accidents, vandalism, etc.

Damage to property, interruption to the business affecting individuals, businesses, and insurance sectors is immense. It is crucial to restore the damaged material as early as possible to avoid high replacement costs. 

What do we need to focus on after a water emergency? 

• Identifying all affected materials & hidden pockets of water. 
• Thorough cleaning & drying of water damage affected areas & items. 
• Removal & safe disposal of damaged/dangerous items. 
• Quick response service. 
• Thorough cleaning & drying of items like upholstered furniture, carpets, rugs, etc. 
• Minimize possibility of secondary damage. 
• Minimize potential microbial growth. 
• Property restoration. 

The cleaning process includes locating, identifying, containing, removing and properly disposing of unwanted substances from an environment or material. An area is considered ‘clean’ when contaminants, pollutants and undesired substances have been removed from an environment or surface, thereby reducing damage or harm to human health or materials.

When is a building considered to be dry?

• The internal conditions are the same or better than normal room conditions.
• The moisture on and in building materials themselves will not support active growth of mould and mildew.
• The building materials and contents will finish returning to normal room conditions by themselves, without suffering further damage.
• Sanitation and odour control also needs to be looked after and brought back to normal conditions.

Cleaning of Meth Labs

We at Bio Cleanse Pty Ltd are professionally trained & certified Meth lab clean-up technicians, trained to thoroughly decontaminate and remediate all types of Meth Lab locations in Goulburn, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra areas.

The production of Methamphetamine or Meth as well as its ingredients can cause severe lung and eye damage, chemical burns, tissue irritation and even death. It also poses the risk for fire or explosion. Childhood exposure to Meth lab chemicals can result in damage to kidneys, liver or spleen, and incur violent behavior.

Chemicals utilized in the “cooking” of Meth and dangerous chemical vapours and residue formed during the preparation process can contaminate not just the structure, but the Gyprock, A/C, carpet, heat system , plumbing well, furniture, upholstery, septic and yard.

We handle everything associated with the meth lab cleaning, including disposal of the hazardous materials. We also conduct post sampling to determine and certify that the meth lab site is now decontaminated to a level within all regulatory requirements.

Bear in mind, you can’t handle a meth lab clean-up on your own. From the heath perspective, a meth lab is simply one of the most hazardous places you could pace into. You’ll need an experienced meth lab clean-up and decontamination professional to ensure the procedure is done right.
