'Why do they bother saying ''raw sewage''? Do some people actually cook that stuff?' - George Carlin
The following Emergency Tips were compiled by members and staff of the National Institute of Disaster Restoration based on their wide experience with various types of damage. It is not likely that your situation will require all of these procedures. Apply those which common sense indicates are appropriate.
Raw sewage and floodwaters contain bacteria and other microorganisms which are extremely hazardous to human health. These can be transmitted by touching contaminated items or by tracking them into uncontaminated areas on shoes.
Keep children and pets out of contaminated areas. Prevent your pets from interacting with your children incase they may have spent time in contaminated areas. This is just temporary.
Treat all water-impacted surfaces and furnishings as toxic, until properly decontaminated.
Children and pets are especially vulnerable; frequent handwashing is an important preventive measure.
Absorbent materials such as carpeting and drywall may not be restorable after direct contact with sewage-contaminated or flood-contaminated water.
Do not attempt to decontaminate surfaces with sprays and other over the counter germicidal products. These may not fully disinfect contaminated surfaces. Speak to a professional home restoration service provider.
