Sewage spills Orange County may cause as much property damage as fire, given the opportunity. often lead to insurance claims, although sewage water intrusion sometimes destroys much less than fire. Either may lead to an insurance cleaim or a big headache. A big difference between these two arises from intruders from a sewage spill not possible following a fire, hoards of germs.

I don't bring up germs to scare the reader, since you've got more than enough to handle at the moment, considering why you came to this page. In fact, many homes have what I call "category 3" sewage discharges and live on without the slightest health problems related to their sewage spill.

During the summer months in Orange County, sewage spills may have time to incubate larger numbers of germs than in cooler months. Naturally it's better to rid homes of sewage spills and their residues sooner than later.

Sewage spills, also known as "sewage backflows," Sewage backflows are serious health threats to humans indoors. The purpose of this paper is to summarize what is known about health effects associated with sewage backflow into indoor environments and to make technical recommendations for safe, effective
restoration. Risks to health from specific pathogens are considered, and the classes of disinfectants and their properties are discussed. The recommendations for remediation are based largely on the characteristics of the contaminated material and the length of
time of the contamination.

Introduction

Water is the single most long term destructive substance in the indoor environment. It dissolves or weakens many materials and supports the growth of microorganisms on others. Because it flows, water has the capability to carry with it a wide variety of
pathogens and allergens harmful to humans. (1). In the best of worlds, buildings would be designed so that flooding would never occur; however, in the real world, water sometimes gets out of control in every building. When a water emergency occurs, quick reaction to
seepage, spillage, flooding, or backups has many benefits. Quick reaction often saves valuable property from direct water damage as well as destruction from microbial growth.
The longer any kind of water damage goes untreated, the greater the damage. Immediate response to a water emergency saves time and money, and protects property and health. The primary objectives of controlling water damage are well known to professional
restorers and public health professionals. These objectives are to protect public health, immediately remove harmful substances that enter in the environment with flowing water, restore the environment to a dry state, and salvage valuable property. The objectives are
even more critical when flood waters contain animal or human body fluids or wastes (e.g., raw sewage) or other organic contaminants.

Sewage poses a very significant threat to human health. However, the severity of the health threat depends on the content of the sewage and the degree and extent of penetration into the building environment. The amount of penetration depneds on the porosity of soiled materials, the amuont of sewage, and the amount of time the sewage remains.
