Sewer backup describes what happens when water comes up or is pushed into your home through the pipes from sewer or drainage systems. It is a very unpleasant type of water damage because it often involves dirty water from the sewers that will not only destroy your personal property but can also impact your health because it is so unsanitary.

Sewage water is also classified as ‘black water,’ or water that has come into contact with human waste.  Water contaminated with sewage usually contains a variety of bacteria, viruses, and germs that cause a very foul odor and are harmful to your health.

There are Several Potential Sources of Sewer Backup in Your House

  • Blockage of a city sanitary main: If the city main gets blocked, it may cause water to back up into your home through your pipes. 
  • Aging sewer systems that require updates or repair. 
  • Tree roots: When you have older pipes, sewer lines and water entry pipes, tree roots can find their way into the pipes and cause blockages. You can check for this problem on your own lines by having a plumber check your pipelines with a camera and do some basic preventative maintenance on your home. 
  • City-related pipeline issues like combined pipelines or problems in the sanitary main: When the system you are using combines the sewage and stormwater into one pipeline instead of having a separate pipeline for each, these are combined pipelines. The system can get overwhelmed in a storm and the water can back up into your home. 
  • Clogging. Sewage backups are common occurrences when a sewer line is clogged. If you experience a problem with just one toilet, sink, or tub, there is probably a clog in its particular drain and appropriate drain cleaning will resolve the issue without further repercussions. If, however, every flush creates a sewage backup in your home, the situation is much more troublesome

Service Professionals Residential Sewer Backup Restoration Services

  1. We physically extract all of the contaminated sewer water.

    • Physical cleanup requires pumping out of all water, sewage waste and debris.
    • Then all the rest of the wet is removed by vacuum or professional dryers and dehumidification.
    • Any sort of blockage or backup occurring in the main sewer line always affects the lowest point in the house first, so the basement is often ground zero for raw sewage influx. Because an enclosed basement below ground level indefinitely retains any flooding deposited there, professional expertise and specialized equipment are literally always required to pump it out and restore a safe, non-contaminated environment.
  2. All contaminated rugs, flooring, furniture, textiles, personal items, contaminated wallboard and insulation are removed and stored if salvageable or dispensed with if they cannot be safely or practically reconditioned.

  3. We apply chemical disinfection to ensure that all biohazards are removed.

    • We decontaminate your home with top-grade, heavy duty industrial disinfectants to eliminate harmful microbial organisms like bacteria and viruses that have contaminated your house.
    • If the contamination remains untreated or is improperly cleaned up, the opportunity for development of pathogenic microbes increases. This can make your whole home toxic.
  4. Valuables, personal items, textiles etc. deemed to be irreplaceable will require professional decontamination, cleaning and restoring procedures before being safe to handle and returned to your home.

  5. Service Professionals also provide home restoration services.

    • Our experienced team will completely renovate the damage that occurred to your house both structurally and aesthetically making it better than new.
