Why Do Sewers Back Up?
There are some obvious culprits for overflowing toilets like that toy fire truck or a misplaced diaper. However, some supposedly 'flushable' items can also cause overflowing pipes. Flushable wipes are a frequent cause of back-ups. So are sanitary products and paper towels. Even hair going down the shower drain can eventually result in a clogged sewer pipe!
A few of the many other causes of sewer backups include heavy downpours, flooding, tree roots getting into the sewer lines, grease in the lines, old cast iron pipes, and lack of a one-way backwater prevention valve. Whatever caused your sewage to back up, whether it was human error, natural forces, or other extenuating circumstances, 24-7 Restoration is here to help. You can rely on us to remove any sign that a sewage disaster ever happened.
Sewage Backup Often Has Serious Consequences
Besides the stink and general nastiness, even small amounts of raw sewage can create havoc in a building unless it's addressed promptly and properly. Sewage is full of pathogens like the viruses that cause polio and hepatitis. It also frequently contains E. coli and other dangerous bacteria, as well as parasitic giardia and fecal coliforms.
It also encourages the growth and spread of mold. The EPA's mold cleanup guide specifically recommends hiring experienced professionals to clean up areas contaminated by wastewater because of the dangers of future mold growth. Mold that gets into a building's subfloor can create serious structural issues.
What to Expect From Sewage Cleanup
When the sewage cleanup process is completed, your home should look (and smell!) like it did before the sewage problem happened. That's our goal when you call on us for help and our many satisfied customers will testify that we regularly meet or exceed that goal.
Our Sewage Cleanup and Restoration Process:
- You'll speak to an operations manager or trained technician about your problem. If we should happen to miss your call, we'll call you back within 20 minutes.
- Our crew will arrive at your property usually within the hour.
- The first step in the cleanup process is to contain the affected areas and use HEPA air scrubbers to create negative air pressure. This keeps any pathogens from contaminating the rest of your home or business.
- We then remove all contaminated materials. This includes flooring, carpet, pads, baseboards, drywall, and insulation. Because these materials are porous, they absorb a huge load of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that can cause disease now or in the future. That's why we remove everything down to the building's structural components.
- We extract all of the raw sewage and power wash the area with a disinfectant that's effective against disease-causing microbes. After the disinfectant has done its job (which takes 10-15 minutes), it's extracted, and the area is power washed again to rinse it.
- Sanitization is the next step. We spray all of the exposed areas with a child-safe and pet-friendly antimicrobial solution. This safe, botanically-derived, eco-friendly solution is extra insurance against any lingering microbes.
- During the mitigation process, a 24-7 Restoration Project Manager will meet with you.
- Now that your building is clean and sanitized, it's time to put everything back together! We replace and reinstall all of those contaminated materials we removed earlier. Our goal is to erase all traces of a sewer backup and leave your home looking like nothing ever happened. By working quickly and efficiently, we'll have you back in your home or business as soon as possible.
