We’ll also determine what caused the sewage overflow and fix the problem for you. That way, you won’t have to worry about it happening again.
What Causes a Sewage Backup?
A sewage backup occurs when wastewater cannot flow through the plumbing system and reverses into your home or business.
It is often caused by blockages in the sewer line, tree root intrusion, damaged or collapsed pipes, or heavy rainfall overwhelming the municipal sewer system. Proper maintenance can help prevent backups.
It also could be a result of non-flushable items going down the toilet, buildups of hair or grease, paper towels, or even single-use wipes. Just about anything could lead to a sewage backup. If a tree grows near a sewer pipeline, the roots could cause damage to the system.
Finally, even heavy rainfall can cause a sewer backup. When large amounts of water enter the city’s sewer pipelines, it can lead to an overflow. The water may make its way into the connected lines- which lead to your home.
If you have sewage backup, make sure to call us right away! We’ll determine the cause and let you know what we can do to fix it.
Can I Prevent a Sewage Backup?
While some backups aren’t completely avoidable, many of them are. Here are a few easy ways that you can prevent sewage backups in your home or business:
- Don’t pour grease or cooking oil down the drain
- Dispose of all hygiene products properly
- Have professionals cut back tree roots
- Have professionals maintain your sewage pumps
- Have a backup prevention valve installed
Taking all of these steps will ensure that your property isn’t likely to have a sewage backup. If you’ve had this type of emergency in the past, it’s essential that you follow all of the above points. That way, you’re doing everything you can to prevent another sewage overflow.
Steps to Take During Sewage Backups
In the event of a sewage backup, you want to make sure you know what steps to follow to keep you and your loved ones safe. Here is what you need to do right away:
- Leave the flooded area. Bring your children and pets with you.
- Shut off the electricity in the flooded area. Water could come into contact with appliances or outlets, which would be dangerous.
- Don’t go near the main circuit breaker if it’s surrounded by water or sewage.
- Shut off the main water line valve, if it’s safe to do so.
- Contact Advanced Restoration Solutions. We’ll handle the rest.
If you can, it would also be a good idea to open all of the windows you can safely reach. That way, the area receives better air circulation. Doing so will reduce the odds of mold and remove the bad smells. However, only open windows if you won’t come into contact with sewage.
Overall, we’re here to assist you during any sewage emergency. Once we arrive, we can help you document the damage for your insurance. Then, we’ll get to work right away! The sooner you reach out to our experts, the sooner they arrive to remove the sewage.
