One of the most common types of water damage occurs when sewer pipes and drains backflow. This type of flood requires immediate attention due to its potentially dangerous nature. Flood waters and sewer overflows can contain bacteria, fecal material, viruses and other organisms, and if not cleaned up properly may result in adverse health effects.

*According to Dr. Michael Berry, Deputy Director of the U.S. EPA, "The pathogenic potential of a water-damaged structure should never be underestimated." Municipalities and building owners no longer can take a wait-and-see attitude towards sewage backflows. Rapid response by an IICRC-certified water damage restoration contractor is critical.
