water exits our drains through a series of pipes that go out into the city sewage main. Since all of the drains are connected, a problem anywhere in the system could lead to sewage overflows, sewage backups, and sewer water floods.
Sewage is a lot more than just bodily waste. It contains all of the waste from our homes, businesses, and industries and environment, including food scraps, washing water, and chemical runoff. Sewage can be very different depending on where it is located, but all types of sewage are known to harbor pathogens and can harm human and animal health. Not only is sewage a health threat, but it is also an odorous nuisance.
Cases of sewage contamination are considered Category 3 water damage, or “black water,” meaning they pose an eminent health risk. Sewage is not alone in this category; flooding from rain or rising waters, standing water, and cases where extensive mold and bacteria have grown are all also considered Category 3 water damage.
Sewage flooding can happen for many reasons. These are the most common causes we see at 24/7 Flood Rescue Carson, CA:
Toilet overflows
Sewage main backups
Sewer line leaks
Rising stream or river water
Rain flooding
To reduce the risk of sewage backups into your home or business, keep your plumbing system properly maintained. Don’t put debris in drains, remove clogs and blockages before they cause backups, and replace aging pipes.
Sewage contains a sludge of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens. There is a huge array of diseases that these pathogens can cause, including:
Campylobacteriosis
Encephalitis
Viral gastroenteritis
Giardiasis
Hepatitis A
Salmonellosis
Paratyphoid Fever
Because of how serious these risks are, we do not recommend that you try to clean sewage waste water yourself. We ensure our technicians are safe by supplying OHSA approved respirators, body suits, gloves, goggles, and boots. We use containment methods when disposing of debris to ensure no cross contamination occurs.

Sealing: In some cases, such as sewage flooding on a hardwood floor, the surface may need to be sealed in order to be saved.
Inspection: Our technicians thoroughly investigate for all contamination to make sure no sewage damage is overlooked. We can locate hidden areas of contamination with infrared imaging.
