What is a Sewage Backup?

A sewage backup occurs when wastewater or sewage flows backward into a home or business, often making its way through sinks, toilets, or floor drains. This unpleasant and potentially hazardous situation typically arises due to blockages in the sewer line or clogged drains, disrupting the normal flow of sewage away from the property.

Common Causes of Sewer Backups:

Soil Settlement: Over time, the ground surrounding sewer lines can shift and settle. This movement can cause pipes to crack, bend, or even collapse, creating blockages that prevent sewage from flowing properly.
Misaligned Joints: Sewer pipes are typically joined together in sections. If these joints become misaligned due to ground movement, poor installation, or age, they can create gaps or offsets where waste can accumulate, eventually leading to a blockage.
Root Infiltration: Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can grow into sewer lines through tiny cracks or joints. Once inside, roots can expand, causing significant blockages and even breaking the pipes as they grow.
Pipe Collapses: Older sewer systems, especially those made from materials like clay or cast iron, can deteriorate and collapse over time. This collapse can completely block the flow of sewage, resulting in a backup.
Grease Buildup: Grease and fat, often poured down kitchen drains, can cool and solidify inside pipes. Over time, these solidified deposits accumulate, narrowing the pipe's interior and restricting the flow of sewage, eventually causing a blockage.
Improper Items Flushed Down Drains: Many common household items, such as wet wipes, diapers, sanitary products, and paper towels, do not break down easily in water. Flushing these items can lead to significant blockages in both household plumbing and municipal sewer systems.

Sewage backups have the potential to inflict significant property damage and present grave health risks. Contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens, sewage exposure can lead to severe illnesses in those affected. The presence of raw sewage not only compromises hygiene but also heightens the likelihood of disease transmission within homes or businesses.

Addressing sewage backups promptly and effectively is crucial to minimizing damage and protecting the health of everyone involved. Professional restoration services are equipped with the necessary tools and expertise to safely remove sewage, disinfect affected areas, and restore the property to a safe and habitable condition.
