Sewage Backup
A sewage backup or broken sewer line is dangerous to your health. Raw sewage can contain viruses and bacteria that cause illness if not handled properly. Our trained technicians use professional equipment and biohazard suits to safely clean your home or business.
When a crack occurs in your sewer line, problems are likely to follow. Sewage can damage floors, furniture, and valuable items. Our technicians prioritize identifying the source, assessing the situation, and developing a plan to quickly clean and contain the damage.
Preventing Sewage Backups
Regular plumbing inspections are key to preventing backups. Property owners should check foundations for cracks and waterproof or repair them as needed. Installing a Backflow Preventer (BFP) by a licensed plumber can protect your home or business from extreme sewer backups. Quick professional intervention can limit damage and protect health.
