Sewage Cleanup & Sanitization in Augusta, GA

24/7 Emergency Services in Augusta, GA

When sewer pipes become obstructed, the thick, black water that presents as sewage is a health risk, and is tremendously unsanitary as it contains contaminants such as pathogens, bacteria, and viruses that can present a risk of extreme sickness illness if exposed to humans or pets. If you have a sewer backed up in your basement, or your toilet backs up, you will need to repair it quickly, or you will end up with sewage all over your home or business. Knowing the cause of sewer backups, however, may help you prevent a hazardous occurrence in your basement, home or business. Here’s a list of items that may help to prevent and deal with sewage backups:

Sewage Backup Causes

  • Blocked Sewer Line – Sewage backs up into your home or business when your drain lines or main sewer lines become clogged. To present an example: if one bathroom starts a sewage backup, the connected drain and/or numerous toilets and the main line may become caught up in the problem.
  • Imposing Tree Roots – Trees with large strong long roots have the potential to grow into and around pipes, even demolishing sewer pipes. Tree roots are able to reach a long distance and wreak havoc on your pipes, causing a sewer backup. Keep an eye out for roots near your sewer mainline or septic tank area to prevent 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 damaged homes, and basements full of sewage. Keep in mind the age of your home and neighborhood and search for these potential problems.
  • Heavy Rainfall Amounts – Large amounts of rainfall can overwhelm your main storm and sewer mains. If it turns out that your public sewers can’t handle large rainfall amounts, the flooding can work its way into the sewer lines linked to the mainline, and set your home or business in a potentially dangerous exposure of sewer backup. There is a risk of severe health issues when in and around rising waters in your region that happens from flooding in rivers and streams, hurricanes, and other associated weather, when water merges with sewage, contaminants and chemicals. When wading in these waters use extreme caution, and also when the water goes down and starts drying. Organic substance that is dried out can then convert to be aerosolized and present a danger of inhaling in these contaminants. Be sure to use proper PPE to protect against these dangerous risks.
