Sewage Cleanup & Sanitization - PuroClean Restoration Services

Toilet and sewer line backups could result in sewage entering your basement or other portions of your home or business. This dark, thick water is very hazardous and contains many dangerous contaminants. These contaminants are made up of pathogens, bacteria and viruses and present health risks and sickness dangers if humans or animals become exposed. Fixing these problems ASAP is highly important, as is getting rid of the sewage from your premises. Having information of what may cause sewer blockages may help you prevent a hazardous condition in your home or basement. Following is a list of things that may help prevent sewage backups that may occur in your home or business:

Sewage Backup Causes

Drain Pipe Clogs – Sewage can back up into your home or business when either your drain lines or the main sewer line becomes clogged. For example, if one commode creates a sewage blockage, the drain connected to that toilet, or the mainline of more toilets, will likely also be clogged.
Tree Roots – Trees with large roots can move into pipes and cause holes or damage the sewer line by growing around it. Even if the roots on your property are not the issue, roots from adjoining property can reach your sewer line and damage it, causing a sewer backup. Always be cognizant of roots where your sewer lines to the street or septic system is placed.
Damaged Sewer Lines – Aging sewage systems may break down and crack, causing sewage blockages and flooded homes and basements. The older your area’s houses are, the greater chance of these types of problems.
Heavy Rainfall – Sudden large amounts of rain can put a strain on your area’s storm sewer mains. If the public storm sewers can’t handle excess rainfall, the water can make its way into attached sewer lines, which will put your home or business at risk of water backflows. Area-wide flooding waters from events such as rising rivers and creeks, hurricanes, and other micro events can also combine with sewage water and other chemicals and harmful bacteria that can cause health-related issues. Extreme care and safety is needed when trying to walk in these waters, and even when the water recedes and begins to dry out. Dried out organic matter can then become aerosolized and become respirable. Proper PPE should be worn to avoid contact and the danger of breathing in this harmful matter.
