Plumbing back flow in this Boston, MA bathroom

Bio hazard by definition is anything that is a risk to human health or the environment. They stem from biological substance especially microorganisms and pathogens.

Pathogens, many times are disease-causing. They can be found in the form of bacteria, viruses, or protozoans. Here at SERVPRO of Allston, Brighton & Brookline we classify water by the level of contaminant that may be present in the water. Sewage back up would be classified as the most contaminated.

If you ever have a toilet over flow or notice sewage back up in your home or business it is highly recommended you call a professional to ensure the area and surrounding areas are properly and thoroughly disinfected. The worst thing you can do is try to clean it yourself and discover that instead you spread the contaminants to other areas of the property.  

If your home or business experiences a bio hazard loss do not place fans in the area. Ensure you have little to no contact with the affected area to prevent the spread of contaminants to other areas of your home or business. If you have an active leak or plumbing issue call the local plumbing company so they can address the situation. Once they have addressed the cause of the issue you will want to call a professional to thoroughly clean and disinfect the area. We use hospital grade disinfectants and ensure we complete a thorough cleaning of the affected and surrounding area.
