Effects of Sewage Contamination
Sewage contamination poses severe health hazards, as it contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Exposure to sewage can cause:
- Gastrointestinal illnesses (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting)
- Skin infections (e.g., rashes, eczema)
- Respiratory infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)
- Eye infections (e.g., conjunctivitis)

Prompt and thorough cleanup is essential to mitigate health risks from sewage contamination. Professional Sewage Cleanup Services follow rigorous procedures that involve:
- Removal of Sewage: Physical extraction of raw sewage using specialized equipment
- Disinfection: Application of EPA-approved disinfectants to eliminate harmful microorganisms
- Surface Cleaning: Thorough sanitation of all contaminated surfaces, including floors, walls, and furniture
