Sewer backups and sump pump failures present serious health hazards and require immediate response to minimize damages as well as contain any potential health hazards. It is a fact that sewage carries harmful microorganisms (bacteria and viruses), and can present health risks, mainly to children, the elderly, and those who suffer from chronic respiratory problems and a weakened immune system. Some sewage backup situations may be easily cleaned, however, if there is a large flood or if it has affected carpets and subflooring, a professional restoration team is necessary to dry, disinfect or repair the area to prevent the growth of mold and disease.
