FAQs
What causes sewage backups?
- A sewage backup occurs when wastewater flows back into your home or business from the drainage system, often due to blockages or damage in the sewer lines. This can result in contaminated water flooding areas of the property. Common causes include clogs in the sewer line or drain pipes, tree root intrusion, broken sewer pipes, heavy rainfall or flooding overwhelming the sewer system, or blockages in the sewer system.
Is a sewage backup dangerous?
Yes, sewage water contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious health issues, including infections, gastrointestinal problems, and other illnesses. It also poses risks of property damage and unpleasant odors.
Can I clean up a sewage backup myself?
Cleaning up a sewage backup yourself is not recommended due to the health risks involved. Professional cleanup services have the necessary equipment and expertise to safely and thoroughly handle the contamination.
