CONTAMINATED WATER TYPES
There are various types of contaminated water, some more severe than others. It is important to know how to remediate these contaminations in order to avoid any health issues. Here is a look at the following types of water contamination which can be classified as a biohazard.
- Broken supply line – A water supply line that ruptures does not immediately leak contaminated water, but could become exposed to contaminants and prove harmful.
- Overflows – When a toilet or washing machine overflows, it can produce gray water. If ingested, this type of water can induce illness and a high level of discomfort.
- Backed up sewer – When an outside water source enters a home from outside of a toilet trap, it has the potential to be extremely dangerous. Often called black water, this contamination results from flooding streams and rivers.
CONTAINMENT AND CLEANUP
There are different reasons for biohazards infiltrating a home. This could also be due to criminal conduct or vandalism. Whatever the cause, there is a process that needs to follow. That begins with disinfecting the area and then sanitizing it. That is followed by removal and there are specific rules to follow through each step. Vines Plumbing has technicians that are trained in this area and will ensure there is no biohazard left on your premises.
Spoiled food, animal carcasses and even common hoarding can lead to the development of a biohazard. Once a biohazard is detected, it is best to call the pros at Vines Plumbing and let us use our skills, equipment and procedures to make the area safe again.
