Water damage can be a huge problem within a home or building, but sewage waste is much worse. Sewage backup occurs when wastewater and sewage flow back into your property through the plumbing systems. Not only is the area affected by dangerous biohazards and bacteria, but your safety is also at risk. It’s highly recommended to keep your distance and contact a cleanup professional immediately.
RestorationMaster is available 24/7 to provide sewage cleanup services for homes and buildings in Manahawkin, NJ, and the surrounding areas. Our professionals are trained and experienced to respond immediately, extract the contaminated water, start the drying process, and disinfect the affected areas. We will also replace soiled porous materials.
What Causes Sewage Backup in Buildings?
Sewage backups can be caused by various factors that prevent the normal flow of wastewater through the plumbing system. When sewage and wastewater cannot flow properly through the plumbing system, it can result in a backup that brings harmful waste into your home or business. Sewage backups are typically caused by:
- Clogs: Blockages in the plumbing system from wipes, grease, or large food particles.
- Damaged Pipes: Pipes collapse due to aging or malfunctions.
- Heavy Rain: Storms can cause the sewer systems to have too much water.
- Tree Roots: Roots may grow into sewer pipes and cause cracks or blockages.
How Dangerous is Sewage Backup?
In the case of sewage backups, contaminated water will spread to the areas of least resistance, including walls, below the floorboards, and ceilings of the floors below it. Sewage water is often filled with bacteria, viruses, and disease-causing pathogens. The longer sewage water is present in your home, the safety risks significantly increase.
Not only does sewage backup pose significant health risks, but it can cause irreversible damage to your property’s structural integrity. Contaminated water from sewage backup seeps into porous materials, which can cause several issues such as mold growth, damage to your belongings, and odor. If you experience sewage backup in your home or business, it is essential to stay away from the area and call professional restoration specialists.
