Sewage Cleanup and Sanitation in Frisco, TX

When a sewer line is blocked, the sewage that is thick and dark is dangerous to your health. This sewer water is extremely unclean, containing contaminants like bacteria, viruses and pathogens. All of these contaminants can pose a serious health risk and cause many illnesses if humans or animals suffer exposure. 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 importance. Having this unsanitary sewer water in your home is not safe and should be removed quickly. Also, to know what is causing the sewer backups may aid in preventing this potentially hazardous situation. To help you in handling sewage backups in your home or business, here’s a list of things that can help:

Sewage Backup Causes

• Blocked Sewer Line – Sewage backs up into your home or business when your drain lines or main sewer lines become blocked. As an example: if one bathroom starts a sewage backup, the connected drain and/or multiple toilets and the main sewer may become clogged.
• Imposing Tree Roots – Trees with large strong plentiful roots have the ability to grow through and around pipes, even crushing sewer pipes. Tree roots have the capability to reach a long distance and wreak havoc on your pipes, leading to a sewer backup. Be very aware of roots near your sewer mainline or septic tank area to guard from damage.
• Aging & Damaged Sewer Lines – Aging sewer lines, pipes, drains and septic systems can fail by slowly cracking and failing over time – resulting in sewage backups, water filled homes, and basements full of sewer water. Keep in mind the age of your home and surrounding area and search for these potential problems.
• Large Rainfall Amounts – Large amounts of rain can crowd your main storm and sewer lines. If it turns out that your public system can’t handle large rainfall amounts, the flooding can work its way into the sewer lines connected to the mainline, and put your home or business in a likely dangerous risk of sewer backup. There is a risk of serious health issues when in and around flooding waters in your town or city that occurs from flooding in rivers and streams, hurricanes, and other similar weather, when water combines with sewage, impurities 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 become aerosolized and present a risk of inhaling in these contaminants. Be positive to use proper PPE to guard against these dangerous risks.
