Tampa Bacteria and Sewage Testing
Why test for Bacteria?
Bacteria are unicellular organisms capable of accelerated replication. There are many types of bacteria, most of them harmless and many of them beneficial. However, certain types of infectious bacteria can pose serious health threats. Some of these types of bacteria are associated with black water or sewage intrusion.
Bacteria can be found in your home, office building, or commercial establishment. It is important to know the signs of certain bacterial infections and the proper way to remediate the situation. Bacteria such as E. Coli and other microorganisms can be found in your water and soil. These can cause serious health issues and can be a cause for concern. Sewage water, or black water, can contain dangerous strains of coliform bacteria, including E. Coli and fecal coliform. E. Coli is known to cause digestive and respiratory system illnesses, including stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia.
Bacteria testing and assessment can be performed to identify the presence of harmful bacteria.
