Causes of Sewage Backup
​There could be many causes for sewage backup. It could be a main sewer line in your community that is clogged with debris, dirt, and leaves. There could be collapsed or broken sewer lines in your area, your home or business, or the main line on your street. Here are other causes of sewage backup:
-
Items washed down the drain that can cause a buildup, like grease or soap.
-
Tree roots that grow into the sewer lines and block the flow.
-
Plumbing fixtures that fail.
​
No matter what the cause of the backup is, it needs to be cleaned up immediately. The longer it sits in your home or business, the more damage it can do to the structure. Another important reason is the health of those who will live, work, or visit your home or business.
Here are a few things you need to know about the effects of sewage backup
Sewage cleanup requires special training and the tools to be able to clean and sanitize a home or business and restore it to pre-backup. The complexity of the process is challenging because of the level of toxins that reside in the sewage system. A professional sewage cleanup service knows how to deal with the conditions of cleaning sewage backup. Here are a few challenges and consequences of dealing with sewage backup:
-
Sewage backup can produce bad smells, which could be toxic gases being released. This can result in some bad health issues.
-
Sewage contains harmful toxins, bacteria, and microorganisms that are very harmful to the health of everyone, especially people who already have health problems.
-
Germs, allergens, and toxins are virtually invisible, so if it looks clear, it’s probably not.

What could go wrong with DIY Sewage Cleanup?
You want to take care of the problem yourself. You don’t think it’s that bad. Here are some reasons why you shouldn’t do it yourself. You may think that you have it clean, but you just don’t know for sure. The soap and disinfectant you used were just a brand off the shelf.
​
-
It won’t be clean enough and the cleaners that were used are not effective, in fact, they probably made the issue worse. Pathogens, germs, bacteria, and odors can still linger and cause sickness.
-
The flooding wasn’t bad, so you pumped the sewage and water out, used gloves and a mask, and then dried the area with a fan. It’s not enough. There could eventually be structural damage and deterioration of drywall and wood. Pipes could corrode and affect the electrical setup in your home or business.
-
The bacteria in the sewage backup could get into your drinking water. That is a bad risk to take because illnesses like Hepatitis A, Tetanus, and others could negatively affect your health.
-
Then there is the risk of mold and mildew. You think it may be dry, but the sewage/water has seeped into the building materials. Moisture breeds mold and mildew. Then you are looking at Mold Remediation if the mold takes hold and begins to grow and spread.

-
Another important step in the process is the observance of safety protocol. The use of personal protective equipment keeps people safe. The affected areas must be contained because of the contamination. Then there is the disposal of the waste while following rules, regulations, and environmental protocol.
