Not necessarily. In many cases, you can remain in the property while we work. However, if the contamination is extensive or odors are severe, temporary evacuation may be advised for your safety and comfort.
**Scenario:** For a small, localized backup, residents might only need to close doors leading to the affected area. But for larger events, evacuation could be required until cleanup and air quality tests confirm it’s safe to return.
### **How Do I Prepare for Sewage Cleanup?**
Before our arrival:
– Turn off electricity and water supplies at the main valves if safe to do so.
– Remove valuable items from lower levels or areas prone to flooding.
– Gather personal belongings and store them securely away from the cleanup area.

**Practical Tip:** Keep important documents like insurance policies, birth certificates, and passports in a waterproof container outside the property during cleanup to ensure their safety.

Absolutely. Our technicians are trained to handle raw sewer backups, which contain harmful bacteria and pathogens. We use specialized equipment and protective gear to safeguard against exposure.
**Industry Insight:** According to the EPA, raw sewage can contain over 200 types of diseases-causing microorganisms, highlighting the critical need for professional cleanup in such cases.
### **How Do You Prevent Mold After Sewage Cleanup?**
Mold growth is a significant concern after sewage events. We take these steps:
– Thoroughly dry all affected areas and materials using industrial-strength dehumidifiers.
– Apply antimicrobial treatments to inhibit mold growth.
– Monitor areas for several days or weeks post-cleanup, addressing any mold issues immediately.
**Statistical Note:** Without proper drying and remediation, mold can appear within 24-48 hours after a sewage backup, leading to costly repairs and health risks.
