Uncovering the Root Causes of Sewage Backups

Encountering a sewage backup in your sinks, tubs, or even on your floors can be a distressing situation. Rest assured, our skilled team is equipped with effective solutions to address any sewage backup issue.

The primary culprits behind sewage backups often include:

  • Obstructed Sewer Lines. The most prevalent cause stems from clogged pipes. Clogged sewer lines are brought about by accumulating soap, grease, and other debris within the sewer system.
  • Intruding Tree Roots. The infiltration of tree roots into sewer lines is another common issue. Tree roots can clog and damage your sewer line.
  • Damaged Sewer Lines. The structural integrity of sewer lines is crucial. Any breakage or collapse can result in sewage backing up into your living space.

Germs are invisible. So even if the sewage backup is clear, harmful bacteria are present. As such, you'll need trained experts to remove the waste and clean and disinfect your damaged areas. ServiceMaster of Tacoma is here to help
