Sewage and waste contamination can make a property unsafe very quickly. Even a localised overflow can affect floors, skirting boards, walls, fixtures, and nearby rooms if it is walked through or left untreated.
Act quickly to limit spread
The safest first step is to keep people away from the affected area and avoid moving contaminated items. Foot traffic, mops, towels, and buckets can carry contamination further through the property.
- Keep children, pets, and visitors away
- Do not use household vacuums or dry sweeping
- Avoid walking through the affected area
- Ventilate only if it is safe to do so
Treat hidden contamination seriously
Wastewater may reach under flooring, behind fixtures, into grout, or around pipework. Odour can also remain if contaminated material is not removed and surfaces are not properly disinfected.
- Bathrooms and toilets
- Basements and utility rooms
- Communal corridors
- Rental and commercial properties
Restore the area with the right process
Specialist cleaners can assess the affected surfaces, remove waste safely, disinfect the area, and advise where materials may need further attention before normal use resumes.
