Building Damage from Sanitary Sewer Overflows Can Create Serious Health Concerns and Costly Repairs

MESA, Ariz. - April 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Sanitary sewer overflows happen every day across the nation.  When they occur they can spread raw sewage into homes and businesses and cause extensive damage and the risk of disease in both indoor and outdoor environments.

These unpleasant occurrences can be caused by many factors, but they are typically associated with sewer pipe blockages caused by pipe breaks or cracks due to tree roots, system deterioration, insufficient system capacity and construction mishaps.  For those unfortunate enough to have this occur in their home or place of business there are environmental, health and safety concerns that need to be addressed.  These issues must be properly dealt with, but they can dramatically add to the costs associated with repairs as compared to other types of water damage.

Sewage often contains an array of chemical and microbial contaminants and even dangerous pathogens.  These contaminants soak into porous building materials and can be an immediate potential threat to building occupants.  Contaminants may include mold, bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa and household or industrial chemicals.
