Sewer Backup

Sewer Backup

Sewer backup
s a leading cause of water damage in any kind of property throughout Florida and Georgia. While a broken pipe is something you will often hear or read about regarding sewage water flooding, a backed up line can be equally devastating, occurring when there is an inadequate plumbing design or installation. It happens when new lines are attached to old systems, when old systems begin to break down, or an all new plumbing has proven insufficient. No matter how plumbing systems have failed you, raw sewage floating in areas of your home where it was not intended is a job for the area’s top professionals.

You may still be a bit puzzled by the sewer backup that has put your property at serious risk. There may be numerous reasons behind your property’s internal flooding, such as blockage of various solid materials, the flooding of local sewers, a basement flood, structural failures and even an interfering tree root. Whether or not you know the exact cause yet, it is important to call us as soon as possible; dealing with raw sewage in your building compounds the already complicated problem of uninvited water that begins to eat away at your possessions and materials from the very beginning.



Parasites, viruses and bacteria – all with an attitude against the health of you, your family, your employees, your customers – whoever visits your property must not be exposed to this cauldron of potential infection and disease from sewer backup. That is what is floating around in your property if sewage has bubbled up from the depths of the ground. There is a reason why raw sewage is kept away from people underground until it is treated at an industrial facility, because it is simply dangerous and will eventually cause illnesses.



The following is what can happen when exposed to water from a nasty sewer backup:







  • Pathogenic organisms (germs) … There are several forms a pathogen may take, including viral, bacterial, fungal as well as various parasitic forms. Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. Seek immediate help and do not expose yourself to the risky brew of sewage water.


  • Vomiting/poisoning … What often cause food poisoning are bacteria caused by feces. If any of these bacteria finds its way into your body’s cavities, you could be laid up for at least a week or two, motivated only by the need to vomit, diarrhea as well as aimless attempts to avoid nausea. You may need to visit a hospital.


  • Rashes and other fungal skin infections … Simply by exposing any part of your skin to this water can lead to a skin rash, as well as underneath finger nails and yeast infections.



Those problems are just the beginning of what may potentially affect your health in a sewer backup. We are the technical experts that have all the training, experience and equipment that will get to your property in no time, pump out this toxic material, sanitize all affected areas, dry them, salvage the salvageable and haul off what is permanently destroyed.
