4/22/2019 (Permalink)

When it comes to "contaminated" water, such as sewage, there are things you should do and things you should not. It is important to remember the high bacteria level could cause a health image.

The number one thing to remember is you want to avoid direct contact with the water.  This and any contents affected by the water.

If you do make contact with contamination, make sure you wash your hands immediately.

Things you should avoid in this scenario include walking through and spreading the contaminated water by tracking into unaffected places.

Also, turn off the HVAC system if possible if there is the possibility of spreading the germs. Do not use household fans to dry the affected area.
