Sewage Spill in Banks?

Sewage Spills Are Dangerous
SERVPRO of Hillsboro / Forest Grove technicians are on-call 24-hours a day in Banks and have required safety gear and equipment to handle any form of sewage spill.
Sewer system water, or “Category 3 black water” carries dangerous viruses and bacteria, so it is imperative for the health and safety of your employees and customers to mitigate the damage as quickly as possible.
This water is highly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested, and any contact should be avoided. Black water can come from flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with fecal matter, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth. Black water may also contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes.
Sewage backups happen for many reasons. Some examples are:
- Blockages due to tree roots
- Broken or collapsed sewer lines
- Septic tank obstructions
- City sanitary main line obstructions
