WHAT CAUSES SEWAGE BACKUPS?

Sewage backups can occur due to various reasons, but rest assured, our expert team has the solutions.

Common causes of blockages include:

  • Soil settlement
  • Misaligned joints
  • Root infiltration
  • Pipe collapses
  • Grease buildup
  • Items flushed down drains

The most frequent causes of sewage backups involve clogged pipes, tree root intrusion, broken or collapsed sewer lines, and blockages in the main sewer line. Clogged pipes often result from the accumulation of soap, grease, and debris. Tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines, causing blockages and backups. Broken or collapsed sewer lines can also lead to blockages within your home. Lastly, debris such as leaves, dirt, or even concrete can cause blockages in the main sewer line.

Remember, even if the water appears clear, germs are invisible. It's crucial to have the job done properly, with thorough cleaning and appropriate disinfection, by the experts at ServiceMaster Restore.

Preventing Sewage Backups in Your Home

Dealing with a sewage backup in your home can be a messy and dangerous situation. Not only does it cause damage to your property, but it can also pose health risks to you and your family. The good news is that there are steps you can take to prevent sewage backups from happening in the first place.

Here are some tips to help prevent sewage backups:

  • Have your sewer lines inspected regularly by a professional to identify and address any potential issues.
  • Avoid flushing non-degradable items such as wipes, feminine products, and paper towels down the toilet.
  • Dispose of cooking grease and oils in the trash, not down the drain.
  • Install backwater valves to prevent sewage from flowing back into your home.

By taking these preventative measures, you can reduce the risk of experiencing a sewage backup and the associated costs and health hazards.

CAN YOU GET SICK FROM BREATHING IN SEWAGE?

Yes, it is possible to get sick from breathing in sewage. Sewage can contain bacteria and viruses that can cause a range of illnesses, from mild to severe. Inhaling sewage can result in respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinus infections. In extreme cases, it can even lead to death.
