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.

The global water crisis claims 3.4 million lives each year: Act fast!

How Crime scene clean up works

Crime scene cleanup is a term applied to specific situations involving blood, bodily fluids and other potentially infectious materials, it is also referred to as biohazard remediation because crime scenes are only a portion of the situations in which biohazard cleaning is needed. 

Some of the types of crime include:
  • Suicides
  • Homicides
  • Decomposition or unattended death
  • Mass trauma
  • Industrial accidents
  • Infectious disease contamination
  • Animal biohazards (e.g. feces or blood)
Deaths or suicides can be a messy scene, with blood on the wall and fluids all over the place, things all scattered around, etc. Police officers are at the scene investigating the death or suicide, compiling to a chaotic situation. The place is sealed and only authorized members can enter in the marked territory. 

Weak hearted people and people who cannot bear seeing blood are advised not to go anywhere close near such crime scenes. In the earlier times, after going through a shocking event of your family member or friend getting killed or committing suicide, the family members were still forced to clean the blood and fluids and removing of the corpse. 

In the late 90’s, a whole new industry called ‘crime scene clean up’ was born; to help and give protection to the ailing families after the crime had occurred. Professionals are involved in cleaning these crime scenes; it also requires a significant amount of training and special knowledge to complete the job properly. The job is hazardous, grueling and not for the faint-of-heart. And only personnel with a trained license can carry out this job.

Cleaning a former Meth Lab

Meth labs are undoubtedly highly dangerous. Many of the meth labs that have been set up in the past leave behind many residues which can be highly dangerous to human health. 

So, first of all you need to find out whether your house, building or property was a meth lab previously. How do we find out? Here are some of the sicknesses that people living in a former meth lab suffer from:
  • Shortness of breath 
  • Liver or kidney damage 
  • Dizziness or headache 
  • Burns to eye, nose and mouth. 
Once any of the above signs are noticed in any person living in the property, a proper professional should be instantly hired to inspect the property.

After the necessary inspection is done and details are noted down, a report is generated. This report is very important for cleaners to know what the exact situation of the place is.

A certain procedure is followed to clean the affected property. To begin with, an on-site inspection of site is done, followed by checking the meth lab percentage before and after clean-up, contamination and removal and disposal, cleaning of plumbing systems, cleaning of HVAC’s, review of property and recovery report.

Cleaning up a House in Brisbane

We were called out to this place in Brisbane for a hoarding cleanup. This one was particularly interesting, inside and out. The owner had apparently been living in this filth for years and had collected mounds of bottles, boxes, dishes and the worse is the cats and dogs. The cats were running loose all over the house, no litter boxes anywhere so they urinated and dropped faeces all over the place.

Cat urine has a very strong odour and is very hard to eliminate with routine cleaning. If there is carpet, as was the case here, it has to be pulled up because the urine seeps through to the padding and saturates it. The smell spreads to every room; the cats shed their hair everywhere. It’s just gross and smelly!

The man who lived here had apparently died of a heart attack recently and his kids inherited the property. They must not have been to visit him in a long time or they just had no clue how he was living. I’m amazed he could even breathe in here that’s how bad it was.

We, the professionals at Bio Cleanse Pty. Ltd., use methods that are very strong that won’t just mask the odour, but totally remove it. We threw out all garbage to dumpsters we had kept outside. The dogs and cats have been shifted to some animal care centre. They had dog houses here, so it wasn’t as bad as it should be.

The guy even had a collection of junk in the garage and yard. He had old cars, bicycles, tires, and so on. Who knows, some of it might have some value if you could get past the dirt and the smell.

We get calls like this quite frequently. Hoarders have a different mentality than most people. They find comfort in collecting what other people see as garbage. Some of them seem to be immune to the trash and smell. It’s hard to understand, but it’s more of a problem than most realize.

Decontamination cleaning

Bio-hazard covers a variety of events that pose a risk to human health. For instance, substances like bodily fluids, blood and faeces can carry viruses like HIV, hepatitis B & hepatitis C. Safe decontamination cleaning of affected areas, which have been soiled by a bio-hazardous incident, are necessary in order to reduce and eradicate the risk of infection from exposure.

If left unattended, bodily fluids such as blood, urine and vomit, percolate into areas that are not visible to the untrained eye, making the risk of exposure to infection a lot greater.

It is vital that the right procedures are followed during decontamination clean-up process and that the appropriate personal protective equipment is worn by anyone entering the contaminated place (including staff). With the use of advanced equipment, the area is thoroughly decontaminated, ensuring the potentially unsafe area is left infection/disease/virus free. 

There is nothing more important than your family’s wellbeing. Hence, it’s always best to get a team of professionals who understands the sensitivity & risks involved in the decontamination cleaning process.
