Disinfection is essential to prevent the spread of disease and ensure a safe and healthy environment.

Will Sewage Smell Go Away?

The sewage smell typically persists until proper cleanup and disinfection are performed. The smell is caused by bacteria breaking down organic matter in the sewage.

Thorough disinfection and removal of contaminated materials are necessary to eliminate the source of the odor. Air purification systems may also be utilized to remove lingering odors.

If the sewage smell persists after cleanup, professional assessment is recommended to identify and address potential underlying issues.
