There are not many pairs of words which are more alarming for the residents of a home than “sewage problems.” The thought of having sewage backup in your home is bad enough, but when it’s a reality in your home then the only thing on your mind is getting effective sewage cleanup in Brooklyn and getting it fast. If your home is having septic problems which require cleanup here’s what you need to do to protect your home, your family and yourself.

Clear the Area

Your first concern should be protecting anyone or anything at risk from the sewage. Evacuate any seniors or children and remove pets as well. If there are belongings near the sewage which have not been damaged that you want to save, get them out as quickly as you can in case the sewage spreads more.

Air it Out

Sewage backup is unsurprisingly quite unpleasant on the nose and you don’t want to give those smells the opportunity to set in at your home or else you may find them too hard to remove. Open as many doors and windows as you safely can in order to increase the supply of fresh air.

Shut it Off

In order to ensure safe sewage cleanup in Brooklyn you should always make sure that any gas, water and electricity to the affected areas are shut off. If the problem is localized you may be able to do this yourself or allow the cleaning professionals to handle it, however a larger problem may require the supply companies to shut off your home entirely.

Find a Professional

When done incorrectly sewage disposal can be a dangerous job. Not only are you at risk while performing the cleanup, but failure to adequately clean and disinfect exposes your family to long term risk from what you leave behind.
