Sewage contamination caused by floor
drain overflows or mainline backflows (sewer backups) are perhaps
the most hazardous of all property damage. Raw, gorssly
unsanitary sewage can carry a host of pathogenic agents ranging from
gram negative bacteria to viruses to parasites. Extreme
caution and care should be taken to protect building occupants and
avoid cross contamination of other parts of the structure. As
quickly as possible, sewage remediation, decontamination and
cleaning should be performed.
