Sewage Cleanup and Sanitation in Aurora, CO

When a sewer line is obstructed, the sewage that is thick and dark can be dangerous to your health. This sewer water is extremely unsanitary, containing contaminants such as bacteria, viruses and pathogens. All of these dangerous germs can pose a serious health danger and lead to many illnesses if humans or animals are exposed. If it happens that you experience sewage backup on the premises of your home or business, or a toilet backup in either location, repairing either one is of the highest priority. Having this unsanitary sewer water in your home is dangerous and should be removed as soon as possible. Furthermore, to know what is causing the sewer backups may aid in stopping this potentially hazardous incident. To help you in handling sewage backups in your home or business, following is a list of things that can help:

Sewage Backup Causes

• Clogged Sewer Line – Sewage backs up into your home or business when your drain lines or main sewer lines become clogged. As an example: if one commode starts a sewage backup, the attached drain and/or many toilets and the main line may become fouled.
• Imposing Tree Roots – Trees that have large strong imposing roots have the ability to grow into and around pipes, even crushing sewer pipes. Tree roots have the capability to extend out to a long distance and wreak havoc on your pipes, causing a sewer backup. Be very aware of roots near your main sewer lines or septic tank area to guard from damage.
• Aging & Damaged Sewer Lines – Older sewer lines, pipes, drains and septic systems will fail by slowly weakening and failing over time – resulting in sewage backups, water filled homes, and basements full of sewer water. Pay attention to the age of your home and neighborhood and keep an eye out for these potential problems.
• Heavy Rainfall Amounts – Large amounts of rainfall can overwhelm your main storm and sewer lines. If it happens that your public system can’t handle large rainfall levels, the flooding can backflow its way into the sewer lines linked to the mainline, and put your home or business in a likely dangerous possibility 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 related weather, when water blends with sewage, impurities and chemicals. When wading in this waste use extreme caution, and also when the water recedes and starts drying. Organic substance that is dried out can then turn aerosolized and present a danger of inhaling in these contaminants. Be sure to use proper PPE to protect against these dangerous risks.
