The Microbial Menace: Understanding the Health Risks

The sewage system is a breeding ground for various microorganisms, including millions of bacteria that inhabit the drainage network. Even seemingly clean toilet water contains a substantial bacterial load and should be handled with caution. When complex sewage systems overflow through drains, pipes, or toilets, the transmission of harmful bacteria becomes a real concern. This can lead to severe illnesses or even fatalities. At The Squeaky Clean Team, we specialise in providing sewage cleanup services that effectively and efficiently treat waste while minimising risks to human health and property.

Pathogens and Illnesses: The Dangers Lurking in Sewage

Sewage contains a range of hazardous materials, including animal and human bodily waste such as excrement, urine, saliva, and blood. These substances are loaded with pathogens and bacteria that can trigger various severe illnesses, including gastritis, dysentery, hepatitis, and gastroenteritis. Proper sewage cleanup is essential to prevent the spread of these harmful agents and safeguard public health.

Secondary Contamination: Beyond Surface Clean-Up

Merely removing the visible waste is not sufficient when dealing with sewage spills. Industry recommendations dictate a rigorous bio-cleaning protocol that involves chemically treating substances to ensure safe breakdown and clearance of contamination. Given the diversity of pathogens present during a sewage spill, anything that comes into contact with waste is considered contaminated. This includes surfaces like carpets, walls, and furniture. At The Squeaky Clean Team, we go the extra mile to sterilise affected areas and provide comprehensive guidelines for the safe removal of contaminated items, restoring the property to its original state.

Our team deals with the aftermath of home floods caused by bath overflows. Before we turn up to work our magic here’s a quick to-do checklist:

  • Turn off the bath! It’s amazing what people will (or won’t) do when they’re gripped by panic.
  • Turn off your electricity and/or gas supplies. Water, electricity and gas are a dangerous combination!
  • Remove anything that is sitting on the flooded flooring. This includes furniture, rugs and anything that might get damaged or stained by the floodwater.
  • Now Call us. If you don’t attend to water-damaged flooring and walls quickly, you might need to replace or renovate them — and that’s when things get really expensive!

 

 

It’s a question we ask ourselves every day. But let’s be honest, we’ve all switched off or nodded off at the wrong time.

You’ve had a busy day at work, and all you want to do is relax in a hot bath. So you turn on the taps and go into the bedroom to undress. But you make the mistake of sitting on the bed. 30 minutes later, you’re awake and wondering what that strange dripping noise is in your kitchen.

Bath overflows are nearly always caused by a silly mistake. Sometimes, we’re just trying to do too much at the same time. When you’re running a busy family home, it’s easy to run a bath and then forget about it — until it’s too late.

If you’re panicking about a bath overflow right now, don’t!. Call our flood damage restoration experts on 1300 682 563. We’ll do everything we can to save your carpets and prevent a most costly damage bill.

How We Deal With Toilet Floods

Whether your toilet backflow is caused by a broken pipe, a blockage in the system, or something too large being caught in the S bend (yes it happens!), the water that has come from your toilet is contaminated and needs professional removal to avoid any possible health hazards.

Once you’ve called us about your exploding toilet, make yourself a cup of something hot and take a moment. Don’t fret about carpet flood damage or soaking walls. Our carpet flood and water damage restoration experts have got your back.

Our team uses a tried-and-tested process to clean up and dry a home after this type of flood.

Step 1: Assessment
As soon as our flood damage experts arrive with you, they’ll begin an urgent assessment of the damage. If the pipe has burst upstairs, the water has probably gone through the floor and caused damage to the room below. Water may also have escaped through doorways and into walls.
Step 2: Extraction
While this might sound a little technical, it basically means sucking the excess water out of your home. We use the latest truck mount & portable extraction systems to suck water from waterlogged carpets. Once the excess water has been extracted from the carpet, we turn to getting the underlay, subfloor & anything else that’s got wet, dry. We do this with the combined use of air movers & dehumidifiers.
Step 3: Air Movers
Circulating air around a flooded room quickly is essential — it’s the key to completing the drying process. That’s why we use strategically placed industrial-strength air blowers to encourage the movement of air around the affected property. As the air moves around the room it picks up moisture from the wet surfaces. The moisture in the air is then sucked out using large dehumidifiers.
Step 4: Dehumidify
A flood, particularly one caused by hot bathwater, causes humidity levels to rise inside a home. And when this happens, the excess moisture in the air can get into the walls as well as the floor. To prevents bad odours and mould from developing over time it is crucial that all the unseen moisture in the affected room be removed. If you don’t get completely dry, down the track you may face costly long-term structural issues.
Step 5: Steam Clean

Once our team of water damage experts is happy that all the moisture has been removed, they’ll get to work on restoring your property & return your carpets to showroom condition. We do this with specialised steam cleaning equipment and dedicated cleaning agents.

The combination of these five stages allows us to save water-damaged carpets & wet structures before it’s too late. But time is of the essence. If you’re standing in a flooded room in shock right now, call us on 1300 682 563 to prevent long-term damage.

Our Flood Damage Services Aren’t Just For Carpet

While our team of flood damage restoration experts spends a lot of time saving carpets flooded by overflowing baths, other surfaces may be affected & we specialize in restoring the following too:

Carpet

The faster we act, the greater the chance of saving your carpets from an early grave!

Wood flooring

Water absorption can cause warping, splits, and irreparable damage.

Concrete

Water absorption can cause cracks and undermine the strength and stability of concrete.

Laminate flooring

Quick action is crucial. When water permeates the joins between laminate lengths, the damage is often permanent.

Skirting boards and door jambs

Time plus water equals absorption and permanent damage.

Walls and wall cavities

Rising damp, humidity and stagnant flood water can cause permanent damage to walls.

Ceilings

Water travels downwards (blame Sir Isaac Newton!). This can cause catastrophic damage to floors below. And that can lead to serious costs if you live in an apartment complex.
