How to Protect Yourself From Sewage During A Sewage Damage Cleanup
When you are doing a sewage damage cleanup project, you are probably having many things going through your mind besides the big task that is ahead of you to clean up the mess in your home or business. You are probably thinking that this is the worst thing that could happen to you and what dangers lurk in this nasty, smelly sewage water.
You know that there are tons of microorganisms and microbes that are lurking about just waiting to get you sick. What kind of diseases can you get from this type of disease-ridden water if you touch it?
You can get salmonella, hepatitis A, bacillary dysentery and any kind of skin infections. If the sewage damage cleanup does not begin immediately, you can also develop breathing problems such as asthma or chronic bronchitis due to the mold and mildew that will grow.
Since there are so many dangers that come with doing a sewage damage cleanup, it's important that you take as many precautions as you can. What sort of precautions do you need when doing a sewage damage cleanup project?
For starters, wear protective clothing, head to toe. This means you wear goggles for your eyes. Wear rubber gloves you will be throwing away. Get rubber boots that you can either keep or throw away. Make sure if you keep these that they are cleaned with hot, soapy, bleach water.
Don't forget the smell will be atrocious so you will want to wear some sort of breathing device over your nose and mouth. If you don't have an oxygen tank with you, just use a mask that will keep out the smell and protect your mouth from ingesting any sewage fluid in case of a splash.
Be sure to wear clothing you don't feel like wearing ever again. However, you'll want them to be long sleeves and pants/coveralls. The reason for this is to keep the sewage water from entering any open wounds you may have.
As you start to do a sewage damage cleanup project, you may find that there are more protective items you need. If you think you need it, use it. It's always best to be safe, not sorry.
There are many myths surrounding the sewage contamination of homes or businesses.
For instance, never believe that water that comes from a river, lake or ocean is clean. In fact, it is quite dirty and if you live away from water, it still travels across land that has animal feces and other microorganisms.
Another myth is that if only half a building has been touched by the sewage, it's save to live or work in. Unless the area has been "quarantined", no section of the building is safe. If you must be in the home or office, make sure you start a sewage damage cleanup project right away.
The last myth is carpet that has been soaked with sewage is fine if cleaned up. This myth should never be believed. Anything, no matter what it is, that has been touched by sewage should be thrown out immediately especially if it cannot be cleaned in hot water or totally disinfected by bleach or another solution.
Keep in mind that a sewage damage cleanup project is costly. If you believe your homeowner's insurance will cover the costs, it might be worth a look to check out your policy. If the project is more than you can handle, call in professionals that can help you. Make sure you get feedback about your "prospective" company's dealings.
