How to deal with a contaminated water damage
7/28/2020 (Permalink)
Contaminated water, sometimes called black water or category 3 water, is extremely unsanitary.
Calling an experienced company to deal with this type of damage can increase the chances of successfully restoring your home or business to its preloss condition. Do not touch anything that has been in contact with sewage, seawater, or standing water with your bare hands. If you must enter the affected area, please consider wearing gloves, boots, and a face mask to avoid contact with contaminated items and prevent exposure to unknown hazards.
If you are dealing with this type of water damage, do not take unnecessary risks and call the experts at SERVPRO of Henry and Spalding Counties and SERVPRO of Clayton County at 678-432-3003.
Note: If you believe you have been exposed to harmful waste, OSHA recommends a post-exposure medical evaluation. Call your local health department or doctor.
