KIWI Services: Expert Contaminated Water Damage Restoration
There are few days in a homeowner’s life that top the anxiety of having contaminated water in your home. Of course, having sewage back up or overflow in your home is a stressful experience—and we know how important it is to have expert technicians you can rely on to help you immediately. However, contaminated water is extremely hazardous to the health of you and your family, so it’s crucial that you call a professional water damage restoration company as soon as possible to remove the water and clean up the damage left behind.
Sewage Backup or Toilet Overflow
Sewage backup or toilet overflow can occur for a variety of reasons, including soil settlement, root infiltration, pipe corrosion, sagging sewer lines, or a buildup of grease in the pipes. But no matter the reason for the backup, we know that you will need professional assistance quickly.
KIWI Services water damage restoration technicians are expertly trained, and IICRC certified, licensed, and bonded. We have over 39 years of experience in water damage repair and restoration, so you can rest assured that your home is in good hands.
Common Causes of Sewage Backups
Sewage backups can be a nightmare for any homeowner, leading to significant damage and health hazards. Understanding the common causes of sewage backups can help you take preventive measures to protect your home. Here are some typical causes and tips to prevent these issues:
- Root Infiltration: Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can infiltrate sewer lines through small cracks or joints. Over time, these roots can grow and cause significant blockages, leading to sewage backups.
- Pipe Corrosion: Older sewer pipes, particularly those made of cast iron or clay, are prone to corrosion and deterioration. Corroded pipes can collapse or develop significant leaks, causing backups.
- Grease Buildup: Pouring grease and cooking oils down the drain can lead to significant blockages. As grease cools and solidifies, it can stick to the walls of your pipes, gradually building up and restricting flow.
- Sagging Sewer Lines: Over time, sections of sewer pipes can sag due to soil shifting or settling. This creates low spots in the line where waste and debris can accumulate, leading to blockages.
- Heavy Rainfall and Flooding: Excessive rainfall or flooding can overwhelm sewer systems, causing water to back up into homes. This is especially common in areas with combined sewer systems, where stormwater and sewage share the same pipes.
Understanding these common causes can significantly reduce the risk of sewage backups in your home. Regular maintenance and mindful practices are key to ensuring a healthy and functional sewer system. If you experience a sewage backup, immediately contact a professional restoration service like KIWI Services to mitigate damage and restore your home.
Category 3 Water Damage Restoration Services
When your KIWI Services technician arrives at your home, they will quickly assess the damage and determine if it’s a category three black water type flooding. A professional contaminated water damage service will consist of the following:
- Removal of the contaminated water
- Removal of any personal items, furniture, carpet, flooring, and in some cases, wall surfaces that have been exposed to the contaminated water
- Mold and mildew remediation
- The use of professional drying tools to remove all moisture from your floors, walls, and the frame of the house
- Cleaning and sanitizing with antimicrobial products that get rid of microbes, bacteria, viruses, and mold
The Role of Antimicrobial Treatments in Sewage Cleanup
Antimicrobial treatments are crucial in sewage cleanup, ensuring your home is safe and free from harmful microorganisms. Here’s how they help:
- Eliminating Bacteria: Sewage water teems with bacteria, including harmful pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella. Antimicrobial treatments effectively kill these bacteria, preventing infections and ensuring the safety of your home environment.
- Neutralizing Viruses: Sewage can also contain various viruses that pose health risks. Antimicrobial treatments target and neutralize these viruses, reducing the likelihood of viral infections spreading within your home.
- Preventing Mold Growth: Moisture from sewage backups creates an ideal mold environment. Mold spores can begin to grow within 24-48 hours if not addressed. Antimicrobial treatments help inhibit mold growth by killing mold spores and preventing new ones from developing.
- Controlling Odors: The decomposition of organic matter in sewage water can produce unpleasant odors. Antimicrobial treatments kill microorganisms and help neutralize the odors they produce, leaving your home smelling fresh.
- Ensuring Long-Term Protection: By thoroughly applying antimicrobial treatments during the cleanup process, professionals ensure that treated surfaces remain protected against microbial growth for an extended period. This long-term protection helps maintain a healthier living environment.
In conclusion, antimicrobial treatments are an essential component of effective sewage cleanup. They eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses, prevent mold growth, control odors, and provide long-term protection, ensuring your home is safe and sanitary after a sewage backup.
