Drains that are overflowing would call for emergency sewage cleanup since the spill has already occurred. Although you may be concerned about stains, sewage can cause structural damage, too. The longer you wait, the higher the chance plaster and drywall will crumble, and wooden studs and subfloors could warp. Additionally, there's an exponential increase in the risk of contracting a disease in your household when you wait since sewer water contains hazardous bacteria. It might look clear, but the water isn't clean.
The sooner you contact us, the faster we can address the issue. Our team of certified professionals is available 24/7 to respond to your call. We'll arrive on the scene quickly to assess the damage and begin the restoration process. Don't hesitate, give us a call today.
Common Causes of Sewage Backup And When To Get Help
There are a lot of reasons why sewage may back up into your sink, tub, or floor. No matter what the cause is, our team can help. Sewer water backup is often caused by:
Blockage in sewer line which may be caused by grease buildup and items flushed down the drain
Sewage system issues which may include misaligned pipes, pipe leakage, and cracks or holes
Tree root infiltration causing cracking and breaking of the sewage pipes
Flooding of sanitary sewers during heavy rain which can result in wastewater overflowing to your home's lower drains and toilets.
Depending on where the sewage backup is and where the damage is, sewage cleanup may be an emergency. For instance, a clogged toilet can wait until morning if you have a back-up bathroom. However, if a sewage or septic tank backup caused the spill, you'll need emergency sewage cleanup services. Another criteria to note is when the sewage backup has affected more than one room or if it has occurred more than 24 hours prior – this implies that viruses and bacteria have already spread, posing a threat to you and your family’s health.
When in doubt, it’s best to call in professional help. Our team has the training, experience and equipment necessary to deal with all aspects of sewage cleanup, from inspection of the damage to repairing and restoring your home. The sooner you start the restoration process, the less damage there will be and the easier it will be to repair.
