Sewage backups: Why it's essential to deal with them
Sewage backups in New York usually happen due to human error. According to NYC Environmental Protection, the common causes of blocked pipes are generally due to the improper disposal of grease, other items, and wipes down the sink or toilet.
When these items cause a blockage, and the water can’t flow properly through the pipes, it results in a backup. Raw sewage can cause a range of health issues, as it contains viruses, pathogens, and bacteria – all of which are dangerous to humans and animals.
The risk of E.coli
E.coli is a common contaminant that can cause adverse effects, including dehydration, cramping, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Coming into contact with it can also increase your risk of contracting Hepatitis A.
Bacteria can enter the body through cuts
While most people think they can avoid bacteria by washing their hands, you could still develop gastroenteritis. If you have any cuts on your skin and come into contact with the waste from your sewer backup, sickness can happen.
Airborne bacteria create breathing difficulties
Inhaling the bacteria from a sewage backup can also impact your health, including worsening current respiratory conditions. However, you can be more at risk of short-term asthma and other breathing difficulties.
A sewage problem doesn’t just go away
Unfortunately, a sewage backup problem can quickly spread to other areas of your home, including the HVAC system. When the spores enter the system, they can contaminate the air you breathe and result in more problems further down the line.
