How You Can Be Sure Your Home Is Safe to Reoccupy 

Few situations in your home are as urgent for human health as a sewage backup. As unpleasant as the effects can be to look at or smell, sewage can harbor harmful bacterial and viral pathogens that demand immediate disinfection to protect your family. It is always best to choose a licensed and knowledgeable biohazard cleaning team and also know the signs that the space is restored.

The Signs Home Is Safe Again After Sewage

Knowing how to recover successfully after sewage removal in Richmond properties can ensure you are not exposing yourself or your family to opportunistic pathogens. There are signs that the work was completed successfully, so check all the boxes before acknowledging the job finished. 

  1. Odors 

Malodors are one indirect way of discovering the progress of sewage cleanup. Professionals like Lightspeed Restoration of Richmond West utilize industrial-grade deodorizing equipment to neutralize the foul smells associated with this emergency. If your home lacks these common smells linked with sewage backups, it is a good sign. 

  1. Moisture Levels Balanced

Moisture can continue to threaten drywall, subflooring, and insulation even when the initial standing water concerns are removed. Our professionals utilize moisture meters and infrared cameras to ensure we understand the full scope of moisture and water damage. When this assessment yields no result, that is a sign that your home is closer to safe reoccupation.

  1. Noticeable Disinfection 

You can tell when surfaces have been cleaned, and strong disinfection agents associated with sewage cleanup offer peace of mind against the pathogenic threats of these emergencies. While you can often tell on your own when the walls, counters, and other surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, credible restoration providers will also include this in their breakdown of services.
