Ecoli Testing –  Sewer Flooding<\/h2>\n

Southwest Environmental have been commissioned to undertake verification testing for the presence of  coliform, post clean up of a sewer spill.<\/p>\n

SWEL were contacted by a landlord who was concerned with the persistence of pathogens post clean up of a sewer blockage.<\/p>\n

The sewer blockage was caused by an item of clothing becoming lodged in the sewer of the ground floor sewer system of a block of flats, this cause sewer water from the above floors to spill out in to the ground floor flat.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The ground floor flat was flooded to a depth of 2 or 3 inches with sewage emanating from above floors. Significant damage was done to finishing, with staud partitioning and some fiberboard flooring being replaced owing to water damage.<\/p>\n

The entire floor area was then steam cleaned and all surfaces treated with a disinfectant. It was at this point SWEL were asked to take samples and acquire results.<\/p>\n

The samples were sent for propagation testing at a respected laboratory, so as to deduce cfu (colony forming units) of Ecoli.<\/p>\n

These results will then used to inform conclusions of a verification report.<\/p>\n
