Sewage Cleanup & Sanitization in Atlanta, GA

24/7 Emergency Services in Atlanta, GA

Toilet and sewer line backups may result in sewage entering your basement or other parts of your home or company. This dark, thick water is highly hazardous and requires immediate sewage cleanup due to the dangerous contaminants it contains. These contaminants consist of pathogens, bacteria, and viruses, which pose serious health risks and illness dangers if humans or animals become exposed.

Fixing these problems ASAP is imperative, as is removing sewage from your premises. Having knowledge of what may cause sewer backups may help you avoid a hazardous situation in your home or basement. Please see this list of things that may help prevent sewage backups that could occur in your home or business:

Sewage Cleanup

Sewage Backup Causes

  • Clogged Sewer Line – Sewage backs up into your home or business when your drain pipes or main sewer pipes become blocked. For example: if one toilet starts a sewage backup, the attached drain and/or numerous toilets and the main sewer may become blocked.
  • Imposing Tree Roots – Trees that have large strong imposing roots have the ability to grow through and around pipes, even demolishing sewer lines. Tree roots have the capability to reach a long distance and damage your pipes, causing a sewer backup. Keep an eye out for roots near your sewer mainline or septic tank area to protect them from damage.
  • Aging & Damaged Sewer Lines – Aging sewer lines, pipes, drains and septic systems can fail by slowly cracking and crumbling over time – leading to sewage backups, water filled homes, and basements full of sewage. Pay attention to the age of your home and community and search for these potential problems.
  • Heavy Rainfall Amounts – Large amounts of rain can overwhelm your main storm and sewer mains. If it turns out that your public system can’t handle large rainfall levels, the water can make its way into the sewer lines connected to the mainline, placing your home or business at risk of sewer backup. This creates an urgent need for professional sewage cleanup to address the contamination. There is a risk of genuine health issues when in and around flooding waters in your area caused by rivers and streams, hurricanes, and other similar weather, as water merges with sewage, impurities, and chemicals. When wading in these waters, use extreme caution, and also when the water recedes and starts drying. Organic matter that is dried out can then become aerosolized and present a danger of inhaling these contaminants. Be sure to use proper PPE to protect against these hazardous risks.
