Act Promptly with Sewage Backups
Sewage backups cause contaminated water or black water, as it is called, to invade and even flood unwanted places in your house at times. When this occurs, you will need to act quickly to prevent additional damage from happening. Your house could even become dangerous for your health if you delay. Our company understands the most effective measures to solve your backup issues.
Causes of Sewage Backups
Sewage backups happen from a variety of causes, including the following:
• Clogs in the sewer main line inside the house are the first reason sewage can back up into your home. Flushing too much toilet paper or inappropriate items down the toilets will cause these clogs. Never flush anything that is not made specifically for this purpose. Even some items that say they are flushable can cause issues such as tampons and baby wipes.
• Tree roots can grow through the side of the main sewer line out in the yard. These roots block and even break the sewer pipes. Never plant a tree directly over your sewer main for this reason.
• County sewage lines can collapse from age, or damage from storms or other natural disasters. The collapse could prevent black water from flowing freely and cause it to back up into your house.
• Septic tanks can fill up to the point that they need flushing. If you use one of these instead of the country sewage line, you must call out a professional to flush the system from time to time to prevent backups from occurring.
Whatever the cause of your Sewage Backup, please call for our professionals to come address the problem quickly. The longer you wait the worse the damage could be, as you could become ill from the black water contaminates.
