COMMERCIAL SEWAGE CLEANUP AND RESTORATION
WHAT IS A SEWAGE BACKUP?
A sewage backup occurs when wastewater or sewage reverses direction and begins flowing back into a home or business—often through sinks, toilets, or floor drains. This typically happens due to a blockage in the main sewer line or a clogged drain. Sewage backups can lead to significant property damage and pose serious health hazards, making prompt action essential.
WHAT CAUSES SEWER BACKUPS?
Sewer backups are a common issue that can affect both homes and commercial properties. Several factors can contribute to a backup, including:
Soil Settlement: Shifting ground can cause pipes to bend or crack.
Misaligned Joints: Poorly connected or aging pipe joints can allow blockages or leaks.
Root Infiltration: Tree roots can grow into sewer lines, causing clogs and damage.
Pipe Collapses: Old or damaged pipes may collapse, obstructing flow.
Grease Buildup: Pouring grease down drains can solidify and block pipes.
Flushed Items: Non-flushable items can accumulate and cause blockages.
Flooding can also contribute to sewer issues. When stormwater runoff exceeds the capacity of drainage systems, water can overflow into streets, homes, businesses, and industrial areas, increasing the risk of sewer backups.
Prompt attention to these issues can prevent extensive property damage and costly repairs.
