Long-Term Risks of Sewage Property Damage
Sewage damage can create problems that last long after the initial spill.
Water and waste can soak into floors and cause damage that gets worse over
time. Understanding the risks can help you act quickly and protect your
property. Here is how sewage damage affects your space:
Structural Damage
Sewage water can soak into floors, walls, and weakening supports,
causing long-term damage that is expensive to repair.
Lingering Odors
Bacteria and waste can cause unpleasant smells and create a space
that feels unsafe or uncomfortable.
Mold and Rot
Moisture from sewage can encourage
mold growth and wood decay, which can spread
damage throughout hidden areas.
Reduced Property Value
Ongoing damage and visible issues can lower your property’s value
and make it harder to sell or lease.
Safety Risks
Exposure to sewage can introduce pathogens and bacteria that
continue to pose risks if not properly cleaned.
