After a sewage backup, it is crucial to have professional cleanup and disinfection services to ensure the safety and hygiene of your property. Sewage contains harmful bacteria and viruses that can cause health problems if not properly cleaned and disinfected.
Lime is sometimes used as a disinfectant for sewage, but it is not as effective as professional cleaning and disinfection services. Lime can neutralize some bacteria but does not eliminate all pathogens. Professional services use specialized equipment and EPA-approved disinfectants to ensure complete removal of harmful microorganisms.
Choose a reputable and experienced sewage cleanup service with a proven track record of success. They should be licensed, insured, and use industry-leading techniques to ensure the highest level of safety and hygiene.
