Floodwater and sewage contamination

Flooding in Missouri often pushes sewage into basements and lower floors. Sewage is Category 3 water, so affected porous materials are removed and the area is disinfected.

Sewer backups in basements

Basements common in Missouri are where sewer backups usually surface, through floor drains and lower-level toilets. A backwater valve can help prevent repeat backups.

Recent history in Missouri

The Great Flood of 1993 inundated large areas along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Events like these are why sewage cleanup needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.

Regulations

Biohazardous and medical waste are regulated primarily at the state level in Missouri, and workplace cleanup is subject to the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Cleanup should use trained technicians and compliant disposal.
