Local San Antonio Water Damage Restoration Services

Sewage backups can occur and cause water damage to your home for a variety of reasons. However, a blockage in the pipes of your home is one of the most common reasons for a backup to happen. If you think your pipes may have a blockage, reach out for professional help before a sewage backup happens inside of your home.

Recently, a San Antonio home suffered a sewage backup caused by a blockage in their upstairs bathroom. The reasons a sewage backup is so catastrophic is because the biohazardous materials are suddenly out in the open. In the case of the upstairs bathroom of the home in question, "Ceilings, floors, and walls in several rooms were affected..." by the mixture of human waste and water.

Once SERVPRO got the call to come and help this home, our water restoration technicians gathered quickly and then traveled to the residence as swiftly as possible. We understand how worrying the backup was for the homeowner, as well as how the foul smell was a constant reminder. We always aim to swiftly arrive so that we can get the remediation started right away.

The first thing SERVPRO decided to do during the remediation was to "remove all [of the] damaged ceiling," as well as the "wall and floor structure." Because of the human waste present, it is not safe to try and keep these structures. Once they are removed, the remaining "affected areas will be cleaned and sanitized."

SERVPRO used chemically based cleaning agents to ensure the area was sanitized, as well as an antifungal agent to ensure that no mold spores fed by the moisture could grow and cause further problems. To combat the malodor left behind by the sewage, our WRT used air scrubbers equipped with HEPA filters to pull the particles responsible from the air and neutralize them. To finish off the remediation of the home, SERVPRO took "care of all of the reconstruction and restoration."
