With roughly 53 inches of annual rainfall in Audubon, saturated ground and storm runoff add pressure to sewer pipes, a common cause of basement and crawl space backups. Jefferson County carries a Relatively High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and rising water can overload sewer pipes and push wastewater back up through floor drains.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.
Sewage is removed from the floor and low areas, and debris, trash and soiled belongings are cleared out.
Porous items soaked by Category 3 water are removed, and the crew sorts belongings into keep and discard with the owner.
Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.
