Dangers of Sewage Backups and Prompt Sewage Cleanup

Businesses are the heart of every community, especially here in Mobile. From grocery stores to churches, they provide important services that keep the area running smoothly. But when a sewage backup happens, it’s more than just a messy problem—it can be dangerous.

The sewage water that comes into a building carries harmful bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. It can cause infections, skin problems, and breathing issues. Sewage also brings bad smells and chemicals that can damage the building’s floors, walls, and foundation.

Quick sewage cleanup is important. The longer the sewage sits, the more damage it can cause to your property and the greater the health risks become. Acting fast can prevent further harm and help your business avoid costly repairs and disruptions. SERVPRO of Mobile County can effectively remove the contaminated water, disinfect the affected area, and restore your building, making sure it’s safe for both employees and customers to return

Here are some of the main hazards:

•Health Risks: Exposure to sewage can result in gastrointestinal infections, skin irritations, and respiratory issues. This makes cleanup not only urgent, but also highly sensitive from a safety perspective.

• Structural Damage: Water, particularly contaminated water, can erode materials, damage foundations, and cause mold growth if not addressed immediately.

• Business Disruption: Prolonged exposure to sewage can require temporary business closure, disrupting your operations and impacting your bottom line.
