Contamination caused by a sewage system backup or broken drain pipe can cause extensive physical damage to your property. Raw sewage contamination can cause a wide range of fungal, bacteriological, viral, and parasitic hazards. Proper inspection of carpets, tiles, walls, ceilings, crawlspaces and heating and air-conditioning equipment is required to prevent the transmission of bacterial contamination to other building areas.

​

Raw sewage contamination can also develop in surface water in a variety of ways. The most common causes include wastewater treatment plants, on-site septic systems, storm runoff, and raw sewage intrusion. As a result, pathogenic strains of bacteria can be transmitted from contaminated drinking water, foods, and animal-to-animal contact. These bacteria can cause illness, gastrointestinal distress, infections and a variety of diseases.
