Sewer Damages and Ways to Combat Them in your Home

One of the worst damages to find is sewer damage. No one wants to wade around in dirty and oftentimes dangerous waters in your home. Should this occur in your home, taking action fast is the most efficient way to get the damages taken care of in your home. 

1. Find the source: When sewer damage occurs, you need to find out why, when, and where. Having a plumber come out first and foremost can help further damages from happening. Once you find the source, you can begin the process of fixing and cleaning the areas impacted. 

2. Rid the area of moisture: When water damage finds its way into your home, it can hide in places that do not get dry. When that occurs, mold can begin to grow shortly after in those and surrounding areas. Making sure professional equipment is running continuously until the area is dry is the best way to combat the possible growth of mold.

3. Clean, clean, and clean again: The best way to handle sewer damage is to call a professional. Because of the diseases and bacteria that can be found in sewer and category 3 water,  SERVPRO® of Madison, Rockcastle, Garrard, & Lincoln Counties has personal protective equipment (PPE) to use while cleaning.
