Even if the damage to your house is not as severe as that caused by a fire or tornado, an overflowing sewer system will cause significant damage and sanitary issues.

It is critical to deal with sewage backup as soon as possible in order to avoid further damage. In the event of a sewage spill in your home, it is best to evacuate your family, turn off the water, and seek professional help. You may be able to prevent or limit damage or salvage items depending on the severity of the problem. Cleaning your septic system can be time-consuming as well as dangerous. Hiring a professional service can save you time and money.

Resolving Sewage Backups

No matter whether you hire a professional service or do your own sewage cleaning, these precautions should be followed:

• You should evacuate all pets, children, and the elderly until the zone is safe to enter.
• You can shut off the water and power yourself if the spill is small and you won't be in danger (as long as the main water valve and the power distribution panel are not submerged!) - just wear protective gear. It may be necessary to tell your utilities to turn off both the water and power in your home until the problem is resolved if the situation poses a danger to you. 
• You may want to open the windows to allow ventilation after cleaning the area.
• Remove all dry and uncontaminated items. 
• Add a drop or two of chlorine bleach to the standing water - this will ensure some disinfection and help prevent bacteria from spreading. 
• Notify your insurance company if you experience a sewage backup. Before the cleanup is completed, you will need to take several pictures of the damage and spill (for an insurance claim).
• You should not attempt to clear clogged drains at this point - once we remove the sewage water, we can address the underlying problem.
• A long period of sitting contaminated water in your home can lead to sickness or damage to your home.
