Sewage Cleanup & Sanitization in Huntsville, AL

24/7 Emergency Services in Huntsville, AL

When sewer pipes become blocked, the thick, black water that presents as sewage is a health risk, and is extremely unsanitary as it contains contaminants like pathogens, bacteria, and viruses that can present a risk of extreme sickness illness if exposed to people or animals. If you have a sewer backed up in your basement, or your toilet backs up, you will need to fix it quickly, or you will end up with dirty water all over your floors. Knowing what causes sewer backups, however, may help you prevent a hazardous situation in your basement, home or business. Here’s a list of items that may help to prevent and handle sewage backups:

Why Sewage Backup Occurs

  • Blocked Sewer Line – Sewage backs up into your home or business when your drain lines or main sewer lines become occluded. As an example: if one bathroom starts a sewage backup, the connected drain and/or many toilets and the main sewer may become fouled.
  • Imposing Tree Roots – Trees with large strong plentiful roots have the potential to grow into and around pipes, even crushing sewer pipes. Tree roots can reach a long distance and damage your pipes, leading to a sewer backup. Keep an eye out for roots near your sewer mainline or septic tank area to protect them from damage.
  • Aging & Damaged Sewer Lines – Older sewer lines, pipes, drains and septic systems can fail by slowly cracking and failing over time – resulting in sewage backups, flooded homes, and basements full of sewer water. Pay attention to the age of your home and community and look out for these potential problems.
  • Large Rainfall Amounts – Heavy amounts of rainfall can crowd your main storm and sewer mains. If it happens that your public sewers can’t handle large rainfall amounts, the flooding can make its way into the sewer lines connected to the mainline, and put your home or business in a likely dangerous possibility of sewer backup. There is a risk of serious health issues when in and around rising waters in your town or city that occurs from flooding in rivers and streams, hurricanes, and other associated weather, when water blends with sewage, contaminants and chemicals. When wading in these waters use extreme caution, and also when the water goes down and starts drying. Organic waste that is dried out can then convert to be aerosolized and present a danger of inhaling in these contaminants. Be positive to use proper PPE to protect against these dangerous risks.
