What to do if sewage bursts at home (in garages, shops, etc.)?
Sewage flooding can be caused by blocked or damaged plumbing systems, sewer system backups, septic tank damage, and flooding from outside. Sewage contains harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa, which can cause diseases such as gastroenteritis.
If a sewage flood occurs in your home, protecting yourself and your family should be your top priority. First, avoid direct contact with sewage and any contaminated surfaces. Then be sure to wear protective clothing when cleaning and disinfecting, including rubber gloves, boots, and eye protection. Use an uncontaminated water supply when cleaning - do not use the water supply if you are unsure of its quality.
Consider if there are electrical cables lying in the flood zone and if so, then turn off the main circuit breaker immediately.
Contact a plumber if you suspect your plumbing or septic system is damaged. All damaged parts (jammed, damaged, broken or worn) must be repaired as soon as possible after they show a defect. Clean sludge and debris from septic tanks. This should be done by a professional as soon as possible.
Wear protective clothing including rubber gloves, boots and eye protection. Clean and disinfect all contaminated areas. Keep children and pets away from contaminated objects and areas until they have been disinfected. Disinfect cleaning cloths, brooms and brushes with the bleach solution.
Seek medical advice if you become ill or injured.
Finally, a total disinfection of the house, shop, garage is recommended before use.
