When sewer pipes become blocked, the thick, black water that forms as sewage is a health risk, and is extremely unsanitary as it contains contaminants like pathogens, bacteria, and viruses that may pose a risk of extreme sickness illness if exposed to humans or animals. If you have a sewage backup in your basement, or your toilet backs up, you will need to repair 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 occurrence in your basement, home or business.
