Tips to keep in mind during a sewage break out

Imagine waking up to the sight of waste water gushing out of your toilet bowl. Sewage breakouts are the worst way to start your day. We at Bio Cleanse Services understand your frustration and the problems associated with it.

Here are a few tips to help you understand what to do in the given situation:

• Turn off all electrical power like electric wires, plug points or electric appliances at the place which is  flooded. It’s best to avoid contact with any wet material or water. 

• Turn off running water to avoid further damage to the drainage pipes or water heating pipes. 

• Open windows, curtains or doors to let out air so as to control odour. This also helps to reduce indoor humidity and sunlight helps to slow down the process of mould and bacterial growth. 

• Remove contaminated contents like carpets, curtains and furniture. Protect possible dry and uncontaminated areas from sewage contamination. 

• Immediately vacate sewage contaminated areas to avoid sewage contaminants. Only people with the right protection gear should be allowed in sewage contaminated areas, as the sewage waste can be flammable and toxic in nature. 

• Keep children and pets away from a sewage spill because sewage waste contaminants can lead to serious illness and infectious diseases. Tetanus, Hepatitis A and Leptospirosis are some of the diseases causing agents.
