Identifying Sewage Backup and Leaks

Most sewage backups are identifiable as a leak or water gushing from a manhole. Even a slow trickle can be a sign of a sewer spill. Any wet areas which you cannot account for should be investigated and you need to be aware of the risks of:

  • Drains backing up and leaking inside your premises
  • Sewage seeps in your outside drains
  • Manhole lid leakage nearby your property
  • Odors and the recognizable smell of waste and sewage around the premises or sidewalks nearby

What causes sewage backup?

While it can feel like a devastating experience, sewage backup is actually a common problem. It can happen as a result of any number of things. From soil settlement, root infiltration, and water discharge from dishwasher or washing machine, to the wrong things flushed down the drain, collapsed pipes and drainage or sewage line back up. Sewage appearing where it shouldn’t should always be treated as a potential health hazard and you should call in the professionals.

Your sewers are designed to remove wastewater from your premises. Wastewater above regular levels results in flood and backup. Misuse of drainage or blockages can cause backup too.

Sewage buildup or leaks can also occur due to damage during maintenance work or even plant growth in the drainage, usually tree roots or weeds. Internal sewage leaks often occur due to damages to the pipework or breakdown and deterioration of the whole system.

If this situation does occur and you are faced with a sewage problem you must take action immediately. It’s important that all sewage and water is removed as quickly as possible. The area must be thoroughly dried, disinfected and cleaned so that mold doesn’t get a chance to develop.

Protect Your Health
With Penn Jersey

At Penn Jersey, we provide expert sewage backup cleanup services. We get your property cleaned, disinfected and dry as fast as possible. After all, sewer water is extremely dangerous. It can contain a deadly combination of bacteria, virus, and harmful parasites that live in sewage. This can quickly transfer to you through the air, contact with skin or from being accidentally ingested. People with immune system weaknesses, elderly people and young children are particularly at risk from becoming seriously ill. However, the stark reality is that the dangerous contaminants in sewage can be fatal to anyone. Home and business owners should never attempt to cleanup sewer water themselves. This can have dangerous repercussions.

Understanding the Health Risks of Sewage Spillage

As we’ve covered, raw sewage poses a very real health risk. The majority of illnesses that come from sewage contamination are caused by pathogens in the sewage. Pathogens are biological cells and agents which result in illness when they pass into the body. Bacteria, viruses and parasites are example of pathogens found in raw sewage.

All of these pathogens have the potential to cause short-term illness as well as more serious disease and infection. Most sewage-related illness involves diarrhoea and vomiting but usually passes within a few days. However, it can be much more serious with diseases such as Hepatitis A, Leptospirosis and Cryptosporidium and Giardia all found in raw sewage.
