Sewer Backup Relief By An Experienced Plumber

When your sewer line has a backup it's important to call a plumber who understands how drains work. You need a plumber who also cleans drains. Beware of the drain technician who does'nt understand how the drain pipes are installed.

Plumbers know how to clean drains, sewer backups can cause costly damage and it's important to clean the drains right. Make sure you ask the plumber what was the casue of the drain clog, was it grease? was it due to your use of the garbage disposal? or maybe there are tree reets causing the problem.

To be sure you could also ask the plumber to perform a video inspection, to visually see the problem and learn how to avoid it in the future.

One of the most disgusting and stressful home disasters is the back up of a sewage line. In San Francisco this can happen when heavy rains overload ancient storm drains. The drainage lines from urban homes are invariably tied into the same system. When they become full, everything backs up to (and out of!) the closest opening. Many San Francisco sewer systems are very old. These old systems are dilapidated and inadequate. Incidents due to this are happening with increasing frequency especially in the mission district some years ago during a heavy rain.

In rural areas the cause can be a septic system that hasn't had proper maintenance. Heavy rains and persistently saturated soil can also cause a private sewage system to back up or fail completely. Whether urban or rural; a foreign object blocking the line can have the same awful result. The resulting backflow of water and solids is a deadly health risk.

A back up of a sewage line can threaten the health of your family and also poses a threat to the environment. Inhaling the fumes alone can pose a health hazard. The contamination can destroy nearby plant and animal life also.

Raw sewage carries with it infectious bacteria, viruses, toxic chemicals, and parasites. Clean up is a dangerous proposition without the proper equipment and safeguards. As with any type of water damage; the water seeps into and behind the tiniest opening. Water can lie inside walls and other inaccessible areas.
