Sewage Cleanup & Sanitization in Carthage, NC

24/7 Emergency Services in Carthage, NC

When sewer lines become blocked, the thick, black water that forms as sewage is a health risk, and is tremendously unsanitary as it contains contaminants such as pathogens, bacteria, and viruses that may pose a risk of extreme sickness illness if exposed to people or animals. If you have a sewage backup in your basement, or your toilet has backed up, you will need to fix it quickly, or you will end up with dirty water all over your floors. Knowing the cause of sewer backups, however, may help you prevent a hazardous situation in your basement, home or business. Following is a list of items that may help to prevent and deal with sewage backups:

Why Sewage Backup Occurs

  • Blocked Drain Pipes – Sewage backs up into your home or business when your drain pipes or main sewer pipes become blocked. For example: if one bathroom starts a sewage backup, the attached drain and/or numerous toilets and the main line may become clogged.
  • Imposing Tree Roots – Trees with large strong plentiful roots have the capacity to grow into and around pipes, even demolishing sewer lines. Tree roots can 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 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 filled homes, and basements full of sewage. Keep in mind the age of your home and community and search for these potential problems.
  • Large Rainfall Amounts – Large amounts of rain can overcome your main storm and sewer lines. If it turns out that your public sewers can’t handle large rainfall levels, the water can backflow its way into the sewer lines linked to the mainline, and place your home or business in a likely dangerous possibility of sewer backup. There is a risk of severe health issues when in and around flooding waters in your region that occurs from flooding in rivers and streams, hurricanes, and other related weather, when water blends with sewage, contaminants and chemicals. When wading in these waters use extreme caution, and also when the water decreases and starts drying. Organic matter that is dried out can then turn aerosolized and present a threat of inhaling in these contaminants. Be sure to use proper PPE to protect against these dangerous risks.
