Why Sewage Backups are More Than Just a Plumbing Problem
1/13/2016 (Permalink)
Sewer backups bring more than just bad smell and a huge mess. It also exposes the people around to a number of potential health risks because of what it brings with it. Sewage backup is a mix of solid waste; debris, human excrement, and a number of other things that you would not want to come in close contact with. Knowing everything that comes with it, you cannot even begin to imagine the kind of microorganisms swarming all over it.
With these microorganisms found in sewage backup also come a number of different diseases. You can get these diseases through mere skin contact or inhalation, as well as accidental transfer from hand to mouth. Some health risks include kidney failure, blood damage, skin infection, hepatitis, Weil’s disease, and occupational asthma. It is important to prioritize sewage backup prevention and eliminate the aggravation a sewage backup will cause.
