Sewage Backups 101
Learning what you can do as a home or business owner to alleviate the chances of a sewage backup happening on your property is important. Practicing smart choices when it comes to property inspections, everyday habits, and noticing warning signs of sewage backups can lessen the chances of extensive damage occurring. Therefore, getting the basics of sewage backups down is a great place to start. Here are some of the most important things to know about sewage backups that just might help you stop them from happening on your property.
Sewage Backups are Hazardous
When a sewage backup occurs, waste-infested waters are overflowing on your property. As a result, your health and well-being could be at risk if you are exposed to these hazardous conditions. Microbial contaminants and biohazardous waste particles within sewage systems, tanks, toilets, or from broken plumbing lines can result in biohazards contaminating your entire property. A biohazard is a biological substance that poses a significant health and safety risk to human or animal well-being. In this instance, human and animal waste, as well as numerous viruses, bacteria, and pollutants, could be leaching onto your property in the aftermath of a sewage backup.
​
This harmful microbial contamination can cause short-term health issues such as fever, weakness, sweating, mild headache, loss of appetite, cramping, vomiting, and diarrhea. On the other hand, they could also expose individuals to serious bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungal infections, which can lead to long-term and life-threatening health conditions. Your body’s digestive tract, cardiovascular, respiratory, and other systems could all be at risk after exposure to hazardous sewage backups. Let the professionals at APT Water Restoration handle your sewage backup cleanup with the right protective gear, training, and industrial equipment.
Contributing Factors of Sewage Backups
Several factors can contribute to and cause sewage backups. High amounts of waste accumulation in a sewage system can lead to backups. Blockages in plumbing systems or sewage lines can also be the culprit. Improper disposal of items within the plumbing system is one of the leading causes of sewage backups. Never flush anything but toilet-safe tissues or wipes down the toilet and always throw grease away rather than clog kitchen plumbing lines.
Finally, private septic systems have limits that can be reached, especially if recent floodwaters have increased water levels.
To avoid sewage backup on your property, regular septic tank inspections are an excellent investment. With regular check-ups, you can usually detect possible causes of sewage backups before they become a major concern. Tree roots can also be the cause of sewage backups on your property. When tree roots grow throughout the plumbing system, they can add pressure or block sewage systems. Trimming tree roots and inspecting root systems near major sewage and plumbing lines can alleviate the chances of a backup happening on your property.
