Sewage cleanup is very important and should be addressed immediately. If you’ve had a sewage backup in your home, it’s critical to bring in a professional since sewage includes bacteria and viruses that can cause a number of illnesses and diseases.

Common causes of sewage backup

• Tree roots
• Heavy rainfall
• Blocked sewer pipes
• Shifting earth beneath your home

Avoid putting items down the drain, such as:

• Tissues and wet wipes (including “flushable” wipes)
• Paper towel
• Q-tips/cotton balls
• Dental floss
• Oils and fats
