Health Risks Associated with Sewage Backup and Other Contaminated Water Events

A sewage backup in your basement can cause more than just an unpleasant mess. It introduces harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi that pose serious health threats. However, this situation is not unique to basements and can happen in various parts of your home or property. Here are some scenarios where contaminated water can lead to significant health problems:

Sewage Backup in Basements

Sewage water in your basement is a health hazard due to the presence of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. Exposure to this contaminated water can cause diseases like hepatitis, skin and eye infections, and severe gastrointestinal issues.

Flood Water Intrusion

Floodwater, particularly in areas where sewage systems are overwhelmed, can bring hazardous chemicals and biological contaminants into your home. It can lead to long-term health effects, including respiratory issues, infections, and diseases transmitted through waterborne pathogens.

Plumbing Leaks and Standing Water

Leaking pipes or standing water in hidden areas, like under sinks or behind walls, create a breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and fungi. Exposure to these contaminants can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and skin infections.

Black Water from Stormwater Flooding

Stormwater flooding carries debris, chemicals, and bacteria that can seriously compromise your health. Walking through or coming into contact with black water can expose you to pathogens that cause infections, rashes, and serious gastrointestinal problems.
