Indicators for Identifying a Meth Lab

Meth labs are usually clandestine laboratories. Due to this, they might evade your eye and also due to the fact that meth labs use commonplace items that look ordinary to attract detection. With the following signs, one can identify a Meth lab and report to the local authorities for due further action.

• Due to their secretive nature, it is likely that the windows of the Meth house is covered with shades or foil with a “No Entry” sign.

• The dust bin indicates a lot of what a person habitually uses. Huge heaps of trash is a sure shot indicator of Meth labs. Meth cooking produces a large amount of chemical waste. Watch out for these ingredients: acetone, brake fluid, used cloths, cold tablet packaging, battery acid, sodium hydroxide, red phosphorous, bottles, paint thinner and antifreeze. However, do not venture to touch these, as they can be potentially harmful. 

• Alternatively, check out for burn pits or dead vegetation.

• Meth labs have a peculiar odour about them. These smells are like a hospital smell (ether), urine (ammonia), rotten egg stink or vinegar/sour (acetone).

• Pseudoephedrine is an important ingredient in Meth cooking. A large number of cold medication packages indicate the presence of a Meth lab. 

• Look out for propane tanks that have been discoloured to a blue-green tint. Meth lab cookers use these to store anhydrous ammonia, which is used in their cooking processes. Brass valve of propane tanks react with anhydrous ammonia.

Things you need to know about sewage problems!

If you're a homeowner, this is one of the worst nightmares you can experience. A sewage problem can be a nuisance, loss to property and as well as a huge health hazard. Torrential downpour deluge your property and neighborhood with rainwater, overwhelming your home’s sewer system or your sump pump’s ability to handle the water runoff.

Most people don't realize they are responsible for the maintenance and repair of a sewage system. Over a period of time, the sewer lines can easily deteriorate, crack, collapse or be obstructed. You might not have a clue that this kind of damage is occurring. One severe rainstorm may be all it takes to bring the problem to a head.

Here are some facts on sewage:

• Sewage is the term used for wastewater that often contains faeces, urine and laundry waste. 
• There are billions of people on Earth, so treating sewage is a big priority. 
• Sewage disposal is a major problem in developing countries, as many people in these areas don't have access to sanitary conditions and clean water. 
• Untreated sewage water in such areas can contaminate the environment and cause diseases such as diarrhea. 
• Sewage is treated in water treatment plants and the waste is often disposed into the sea. 
• Sewage is mainly biodegradable and most of it is broken down in the environment. 
• In developed countries, sewage often causes problems when people flush chemical and pharmaceutical substances down the toilet. When people are ill, sewage often carries harmful viruses and bacteria into the environment, causing health problems.

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.
