### Will Sewage Smell Go Away?

The sewage smell can linger after cleanup if not properly addressed. Here are some reasons why a sewage smell may persist:

– **Incomplete disinfection:** Residual contaminants can release odors.
– **Trapped moisture:** Sewage can penetrate porous materials, causing odors to linger.
– **Damaged plumbing:** Leaks or other plumbing issues can allow sewage odors to escape.

To effectively eliminate sewage odors, it is crucial to address all potential sources and use a combination of:

– **Professional cleanup and disinfection:** To remove contaminants and prevent odor-causing microorganisms.
– **Deodorizing agents:** To neutralize odors and leave a fresh scent.
– **Ventilation:** To increase airflow and dissipate odors.
