Lets look at 6 THINGS TO DO FOR SAFE SEWAGE
BACKUP CLEANUP  
3
Turn Off the Electricity or Gas

• If you are dealing with a flooded basement or
  sewage backup, turn off the electricity and gas
  lines before doing any more work. Do not assume
  that these lines are not an issue. Make sure that
  the electricity and gas have been turned off by
  the professionals in your area. The last thing
  that you want is to make a mistake with these
  lines and hurt yourself or someone else.

Call a Septic Company or Plumber

• No one wants to deal with plumbing problems, but
  they do happen and you should know what to do
  when they happen. If you have a plumbing problem,
  there is the possibility its already causing
  issues. Call Carolina Restoration Services who
  will help in finding the source of the problem
  and start fixing the issue as quickly as
  possible.

5
Call your Insurance Company

• When your professional clean up company
  arrives on the scene, provide them with the
  insurance claim number that you started with your
  insurance company and be prepared to show them
  that the location of your flooded basement is in
  fact the only area that has been affected by
  water. The septic company may also require this
  before they start any work in order to determine
  how they should proceed with their job.

Ventilate the Area

• Open windows to allow air to flow through your
  home. Airing out your contaminated home can help
  prevent mold growth by drying out the area as
  much as possible before professional help
  arrives. 

7
Go to a Safe Area

• Evacuate people (assisting seniors and children)
  and pets from the areas affected by sewage backup
  and go to a safe place where there is no sign of
  sewage backup. Keep everyone away until the area
  has been restored.

8
Take Pictures of the Damaged Area and Contents

•  Take pictures by taking a photo from several
  feet away. Take pictures of the damaged area and
  contents if possible. You can do this by yourself
  or with your insurance claim agent after the
  plumber or restoration company has deemed the
  area safe. The pictures should include the
  damaged area, the source of the sewage backup,
  any damaged personal possessions, and structural
  damage. Don't touch anything when you take the
  pictures. Any surface or item touched by raw
  sewage is contaminated, and rarely salvageable.
