- There are no dangerous germs, parasites, or other elements present.
- The following advice can help you clean up sewage backups in your basement or anywhere else in your house:
Clean up backups and stench-filled standing water
As soon as you detect them to prevent further hazards and harm.
Wear protective clothing, such as waders, boots, long sleeves, and pants
Cover any open wounds you may have entirely and firmly with a waterproof bandage. Additionally important is the use of a ventilator, gloves, and eye protection.
Utilize shovels and buckets to gather solid objects
Use a sturdy trash bag to dispose of solid waste and any used towels or sheets that are still wet (like contractor garbage bags). You might even want to rent a dumpster for all the rubbish you’ll generate throughout this cleanup.
To get rid of puddles, use a shop vacuum
Larger puddles can also be removed using wet/dry vacuums.
To absorb the wastewater, use old or disposable towels or sheets
Consider purchasing inexpensive towels or sheets from a thrift store. If you don’t already have extras at home that you can throw away after the cleanup.
Remove any remaining moisture with fans and dehumidifiers
To help the area dry thoroughly and avoid mold growth.
Throw away UN-Salvage able items
Items that can’t be saved should be thrown away, such as carpet, wood furniture, particleboard, and fabric. These things will all absorb sewage.
Disinfect:
After the sewage has been removed and the basement is dry, disinfect everything. Clean everything with a solution of warm water and soap first, then a solution of water and bleach.
