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.

Why choose Dry Ice Blasting over traditional cleaning methods?


If your current cleaning process is experiencing prolonged cleaning time, high costs for secondary waste disposal and costly wear and tear on equipment, it is high time to evaluate your type of cleaning process and change it for the better.

Dry Ice Blasting is a globally acknowledged and tried-and-tested formula used for cleaning equipments in an advanced way. It is environmentally employee and equipment friendly alternative to the traditional cleaning methods used in the bygone days.

Here are some reasons why Dry Ice Blasting is superior to other cleaning processes:

1. Superior clean methods along with fewer cleaning cycles result to lesser cleaning time.

2. Machines can be cleaned in the same place, as there is no spreading of dust while cleaning the products. 

3. Dry Ice Blasting is a dry process and requires no disassemble/reassemble, which means much less downtime.

4. Quicker cleaning is done with fewer resources, which lead to more profits.

5. Non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive: Dry Ice Blasting won't damage most substrates and can be used safely on electrical components.

6. No secondary waste cleanup: This not only saves additional cleanup labour and expenditure, but also means temporary containment areas which can possibly be reused. This is an additional way of cost savings.

7. Can get into tight spaces that many other methods cannot.

8. Operator safety: No exposure to any chemicals.

9. Operator efficiency: Not as labour intensive as traditional cleaning methods.
