Frequently Asked Questions
What causes biohazard contamination after water damage in Columbia homes?
Water damage from sewage backups, snowmelt, or basement flooding can introduce harmful pathogens. Sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Even clean-looking water from ice dams can promote mold growth, which becomes a biohazard. Aftermath Services identifies the source and tests for contaminants to ensure a thorough cleanup.
What are the signs that a water damage event has created a biohazard situation?
Look for foul odors (like sewage or mustiness), visible mold growth, discolored water, or standing water that has been present for more than 24 hours. If the water came from a sewer line or floodwater, it's likely a biohazard. Aftermath Services recommends calling immediately if you notice any of these signs to prevent health risks.
