Perth, Western Australia Jul 3, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Following the recent sewage main burst in Spearwood, Perth, which contaminated local parklands and waterways, restoration experts are sounding the alarm on the hidden risks still lingering in homes and public areas.
According to GSB Flood Master, a local IICRC-certified flood damage restoration company, the incident — which forced the closure of Bruce Lee Reserve and prompted health warnings near the Swan River — may have left invisible damage in surrounding properties.
“This wasn’t just water. It was Category 3 contamination — raw sewage. If it entered nearby buildings, it could be a silent hazard,” said a GSB Flood Master representative.
In a new case study published by GSB, the company highlights the less obvious dangers of such spills — including mould formation, contaminated HVAC systems, and poor indoor air quality.
The report urges residents and property managers near Spearwood and Fremantle to test for moisture and airborne toxins, even if the property appears dry.
“We’ve seen cases where people resumed living in affected homes too soon, only to develop health issues later,” the spokesperson added.
GSB Flood Master is offering free consultations to homes and businesses within a 5km radius of the spill site. Residents can download the full case study or request a property inspection through official website.
