How Do I Disinfect My Basement After a Sewer Backup?

If your basement has been flooded with sewage water, it is important to disinfect the area to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.

To disinfect your basement, you can use a chlorine bleach solution or a commercial disinfectant.

  • Chlorine bleach solution: Mix 1 cup of bleach per gallon of water.
  • Commercial disinfectant: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.

Once you have prepared your disinfectant solution, apply it to all surfaces that have been contaminated with sewage water. Be sure to wear gloves and eye protection when applying the disinfectant.

After you have disinfected the basement, allow it to air out for several hours before re-entering.

If you have any further questions or concerns about sewage cleanup or disinfection, please contact a Sewage Cleanup Service professional.
