Cleanup and Disinfection

Following a sewage spill, prompt and thorough cleanup is crucial to prevent the spread of pathogens. The process involves:

* Removal: Sewage and contaminated materials are removed using specialized equipment and personal protective gear.
* Disinfection: Surfaces are disinfected using approved chemicals to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses.
* Odor Control: Odor-neutralizing agents are applied to minimize unpleasant smells.
* Restoration: Affected areas are repaired, restored, and cleaned to return them to their original condition.

Will Lime Clean Up Sewage?

Lime (calcium oxide) is commonly used in waste treatment to neutralize acidic wastewater. However, it cannot be used to clean up sewage spills in most cases. Lime’s corrosive nature makes it unsuitable for direct contact with skin or other organic materials like carpet.

Instead, professional Sewage Cleanup Service technicians rely on approved disinfectants and cleaning agents that are safe and effective for sewage cleanup. These agents are specifically designed to eliminate pathogens and prevent the spread of disease.
