Sewer Backup Restoration

Sewer backup is a serious concern after a torrential downpour in South Jordan, Utah. Excessive rain water can overwhelm a sewer system and cause black water to backflow into a building. 

Elimination of Standing Water After a Sewer Backup

One of the most vital steps to take after heavy rains resulting in sewage backflow is the proper removal of the contaminated water. If improper methods or equipment is used in the removal and disposal, serious illness can occur. Black water contains serious contaminants such as:
Bacteria
Viruses
Harsh chemicals
Mold spores

Disinfect and Deodorize

Once the standing water has been removed properly, you’ll want to take care to have the space properly disinfected and deodorized. Dehumidification, air filtration, mold containment, and proper storm damage restoration can bring your property back to safe and enjoyable standards after a flood.

Dehumidification can pull unseen water out of porous materials to allow you to continue use of those materials. Air filtration will remove mold spores and airborne contaminants from the air in order to eliminate spreading and inhalation. Mold containment will keep odors down and remove the possibility that you’ll need to replace or repair extensive portions of the structure due to mold colonization. All of these steps and more can restore your property and reduce the cost of flood damage repair.

Sewer back up due to excessive rain water can cause lasting damage if it is not handled promptly and properly. Take care to use a qualified professional to repair and restore your property after a flood. Visit http://www.SERVPROsouthjordannorthdraper.com for more information on commercial flooding.
