Sewage Damage Testing and Protocols

We provide service to test the indoor surfaces and air to determine the extent of the damage. Not only in the areas that a visibly noticeable or solids affected. Sewage that comes from beyond the Trap of a drain is considered Category 3 or Black water. This is grossly contaminated and can hold many bacteria and viruses. Unlike the liquids that can be easier to determine the migration pattern or the extent that it travelled. The air borne particles can travel much further and into previously unaffected areas know as cross contamination. Walking from the affected area to unaffected can transport these items as well. Putting air movement onto unclean surfaces can release particles once they become dry and able to transported by air and settle in other areas. By us testing the other areas adjacent to the affected areas we can determine the extent of the damage. By utilizing this report the restoration company and insurance company can know the exact areas affect and clean appropriately.  Knowing the extent of travel can help to keep your home or business clean and safe.
