For many people, out of sight is out of mind. This is particularly true for sewage waste, after all, once you flush that should be the end of it, right! Though what happens when untreated sewage returns and overflows through drains, internal pipes or toilets due to blockages, structural damage or heavy rain?

Untreated sewage waste contains raw animal and human bodily fluids, faecal matter, hazardous chemical waste and other biological contaminants.
