Sewage & Flood Damage Flood Damage Raw sewage and flood waters contain bacteria and other micro organisms which are extremely hazardous to human health. These can be transmitted by touching contaminated items or by tracking them into uncontaminated areas on shoes. Children and pets are especially vulnerable. Frequent hand-washing is an important preventive measure. Absorbent materials such as carpeting and drywall may not be restorable after direct contact with sewage-contaminated or flood-contaminated water. DO... *Treat all water-impacted surfaces and furnishings as toxic, until properly decontaminated. *Keep children and pets out of contaminated areas. DO NOT... *Track contaminated material into undamaged areas. *Attempt to decontaminate surfaces with sprays and other over-the-counter germicidal products, which may not fully disinfect contaminated surfaces.
