Sewage Cleanup and Sanitation in Conroe, The Woodlands, Spring, Humble, Montgomery, Cypress

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 contains quite a lot of dangerous contaminants. These contaminants consist of pathogens, bacteria and viruses and cause health risks and illness dangers if humans or animals become exposed. Repairing these problems ASAP is imperative, as is removing sewage from your premises. Having knowledge of what may cause sewer blockages may help you avoid a hazardous incident in your home or basement. Following is a list of things that may help prevent sewage backups that could occur in your home or business:

Why Sewage Backup Occurs

• Blocked Drain Pipes – Sewage backs up into your home or business when your drain lines or main sewer lines become clogged. As an example: if one toilet starts a sewage backup, the connected drain and/or numerous toilets and the main sewer may become fouled.
• Imposing Tree Roots – Trees with large strong imposing roots have the potential to grow through and around pipes, even demolishing sewer pipes. Tree roots can reach a long distance and wreak havoc on your pipes, leading to a sewer backup. Keep an eye out for roots near your main sewer lines or septic tank area to prevent damage.
• Aging & Damaged Sewer Lines – Older sewer lines, pipes, drains and septic systems can fail by slowly cracking and failing over time – leading to sewage backups, water filled homes, and basements full of sewer water. Keep in mind the age of your home and neighborhood and keep an eye out for these potential problems.
• Heavy Rainfall Amounts – Heavy amounts of rain can overcome your main storm and sewer lines. If it turns out that your public system can’t handle large rainfall levels, the water can work its way into the sewer lines linked to the mainline, and place your home or business in a possibly dangerous exposure of sewer backup. There is a risk of serious health issues when in and around flooding waters in your area that occurs from flooding in rivers and streams, hurricanes, and other associated weather, when water merges with sewage, contaminants and chemicals. When wading in this waste 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 risk of inhaling in these contaminants. Be sure to use proper PPE to guard against these dangerous risks.
