Sewage Contamination Testing
Protect Health. Confirm Contamination. Restore with Confidence.
Sewage or fecal contamination in indoor environments is a serious health hazard. Fecal matter is a reservoir for enteric pathogens—microorganisms typically transmitted through the fecal-oral route that infect the gastrointestinal tract. When contamination occurs, these pathogens, along with other intestinal organisms, can also spread via air, water, and food, increasing the risk of disease transmission.
For environmental consultants, restoration companies, and building managers, rapid and reliable testing is critical to assess the extent of contamination, guide remediation, and verify the effectiveness of cleanup efforts.
Comprehensive Microbial Testing Services
AEMTEK offers a full range of microbial laboratory testing for sewage screening and contamination assessment, performed according to EPA and California Water Board recommendations for water testing.
We can test samples from:
- Water — standing water, tap water, or floodwater
- Air — aerosolized particles in affected areas
- Surface Swabs — countertops, floors, walls, or fixtures
- Bulk Samples — carpets, wood, drywall, furniture, and other materials
Indicator Bacteria Testing
Our testing detects key indicator organisms that help confirm or rule out the presence of sewage contamination:
- Total Coliforms — General indicator of unsanitary conditions
- E. coli — Direct marker for fecal contamination
- Enterococci — Highly resistant indicator of fecal pollution
- Microbial Contamination Source Tracking — Identifies whether the source is human, animal, or mixed
The detection (presence) or non-detection (absence) of these bacteria helps investigators, contractors, and property owners make informed decisions about remediation and clearance.
