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. 

If you come across the above scenario, don’t panic. Just contact Bio Cleanse Services. We are always ready to help. Our team of trained professional will get the job done. Call at 042 741 1789 or visit our website http://www.bio-cleanse.com.au/services/sewage-clean-up/

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.

Proper sewage cleanup is necessary

Always practice for proper hygiene! Sewage spills can harm your health adversely and give you lots of problems health-wise.

Dirty or contaminated water is the world's biggest health risk, and continues to threaten both quality of life and public health. Running water picks up toxic chemicals, dirt, trash and disease-carrying organisms along the way. 

If you have items contaminated by flood waters or sewage spills, proper cleaning and disinfecting procedures should be followed to prevent illness. Raw sewage contains biological agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can cause serious illness and even death. Always presume that floodwater is contaminated with sewage so there is a need to take precaution before coming in contact with any of such water streams.

Contaminated water is not only harmful to mankind but also fish, birds and wildlife. So there is a need to prevent contamination of water whenever possible and hire professional services to handle the situation properly. 

In the urban areas, water gets contaminated in many different ways, some of the most common reasons being leaky water pipe joints in areas where the water pipe and sewage line pass close together. Sometimes the water gets polluted at the source due to various reasons mainly due to the inflow of sewage into the source.

Sewage cleaning should be taken very seriously; it also shouldn’t be carried out by a common man. It is a high-risk cleanup, it can give you a lot of diseases or sickness. Professional help is required for such matters.
