Understanding Sewage Damage
Sewage damage is harmful to buildings and has many side effects. It could create an unsafe living or working space and degrade the structural integrity of the building due to the bacteria, viruses, and pathogens found in sewage backup that can penetrate into the building’s floor and walls and affect personal items. If sewage is not cleaned up, the property will be compromised, creating an unsafe situation.
Sewage creates both visible water damage and hidden water damage. Materials such as carpets, drywall, and furniture are porous and can trap contaminated water inside and become a place for mold and bacteria to grow. The longer the sewage is allowed to remain, the more expensive and difficult the restoration process becomes. Our Sewage cleanup service Orange County team can respond quickly to remove the water, disinfect the affected areas, and utilize advanced drying techniques to reduce the risk of additional damage to your property.
Our goal is to minimize property damage and protect family/employee health by preventing exposure to contaminants in sewage. We will carefully plan and carry out the restoration process at your home or place of business so that it returns to safe, clean, and fully functional condition. With the right tools, expertise, and experience, our sewage cleanup specialists in Orange County are able to effectively and safely clean up the most serious sewer backups.
Common Causes of Sewage Backups
Sewage backups can cause major problems for property owners; knowing what causes them & preventing further incidents can help protect your property. The following is a list of all the most common types of sewage removal caused by sewage backups, as reported by our sewage removal Orange County team.
Clogged or collapsed sewer lines
Sewer line stoppages, clogs, or collapsed &/or damaged sewer lines from settling soil &/or heavy traffic may cause sewage to back up into your house. The sewage will continue to back up until the sewage lines have been professionally cleaned & repaired (restoration of normal sewer flow).
Tree roots.
The roots of trees will always seek water; the roots of trees can get into the pipes of your sewer line & create cracks, obstruction, or collapse. The roots of trees will grow larger inside the pipes, creating continuing problems of backed-up sewage that require professional removal.
Old & broken plumbing.
Old & poorly maintained plumbing is very susceptible to cracking, leaking, & breaking; this can cause the sewage to not flow through the plumbing properly & if the old plumbing has deteriorated, the wastewater will escape, making your floors, walls, & any area outside your house contaminated.
Heavy rain or flooding.
Heavy rain &/or nearby flooding can overburden a community with a sewage system & result in the sewage being forced back into a house or business; in addition, the flooding of aboveground waterways can cause many of the same problems resulting from being overburdened by smashed sewers.
Septic tank/sump pump failure.
If your sump pumps &/or septic tanks aren’t working properly, raw sewage may rise in your basement or your backyard, due to mechanical failure, poor maintenance, or being full, therefore creating an extreme amount of sewage that can damage your property.
Block drains or toilets.
Any blockage within the floor drain or toilet can cause localized sewage backups & results in the contaminated water being dispersed across the floor. All of these sewage backup problems can become worse if not taken care of by a professional as soon as possible.
Why You Should Call a Professional Immediately
When sewage enters your home, it becomes a Category 3 water loss, meaning it contains bacteria, viruses, and harmful contaminants. This isn’t a mop-and-bucket situation — it’s a health hazard.
🚫 Health Risks
Sewage exposure can lead to:
- E. coli
- Hepatitis A
- Severe stomach issues
- Respiratory problems
- Skin irritation
This water must be handled professionally to keep your home safe.
Health Risks of Untreated Sewage Damage
Sewage is a serious health hazard because of the large amounts of bacteria, viruses, and parasites found in untreated sewage. Someone can suffer from gastrointestinal illness, skin infection, respiratory illness, and exposure to serious pathogens through direct contact with untreated sewage or through the inhalation of contaminated air.
Mold will also grow from the dampness left behind and can contribute to the risk of an individual developing an allergy, asthma, or a long-term respiratory illness. Additionally, prolonged exposure to standing (untreated) sewage can weaken the structure of buildings, resulting in slips and falls, and in some cases may even cause a building to collapse.
Not dealing with sewage damage can also lead to odors and bacteria penetrating non-porous materials, which can create ongoing hygiene issues as well as negatively affect the livability of a property. The emergency sewage removal in Orange County is not just to restore property; it is critical to protect health and avoid further deterioration of the property.
🦠 Rapid Bacteria Spread
Sewage water seeps into:
- Floors
- Baseboards
- Cabinets
- Drywall
- Carpet & padding
Within 24–48 hours, mold can begin to grow, making the cleanup even more expensive and dangerous.
👃 Persistent Odors
No amount of candles or air fresheners will fix sewage odor.
Only proper sanitizing and odor removal equipment can eliminate it completely.
💡 Insurance Often Covers It
Many toilet overflows and sewage backups are covered by homeowners insurance. We work directly with your adjuster so the process is as stress-free as possible.
Our Sewage Cleanup Process
Sewage emergencies need to be dealt with in a systematic way. Our sewage cleanup Orange County process provides a structure to each stage of the emergency response and is carried out in a professional manner. The goals of the emergency response are to eliminate contamination and prevent further damage, while also providing a safe environment.
🚨 Emergency Contact and Quick Response
When you call us for an emergency response, we will have a technician on site within 60 minutes or less of your call. The faster the technician arrives on site, the less time the sewage will have to spread, thus preventing more damage and helping us create a successful plan for restoration.
🧼 Inspection and Damage Assessment
When we arrive on site, our technicians will assess the extent of the sewage exposure and determine what areas of the building need to be restored. While performing the inspection, the technician will also identify which items can be salvaged and allow us to create a specific restoration plan for the sewage damage
💦 Water and Sewage Removal
We will remove all standing water and sewage from the property using special pumps and vacuums to remove standing water and sewage from the property. This early step in the cleanup process minimizes additional saturation, decreases the chance of microbial growth, and gives our workers a more efficient working environment.
🪥 Cleaning and Sanitization
Our technicians will clean and sanitize all surfaces, ceilings, and walls of your home and business using hospital disinfectants that kill bacteria and viruses and eliminate any odor from your home and/or business.
🌬️ Drying and Dehumidification
We place high-powered drying fans and dehumidifiers in your property to completely dry and dehumidify all structural components. We will be using moisture detection equipment to ensure that all hidden water has been removed, which will significantly reduce or eliminate the potential for mold growth and mitigate further damage.
🔨 Repair and Restoration
The final step in the sewage cleanup process is for our technicians to repair or replace any flooring, drywall, and fixtures that were damaged. Upon completion of the sewage cleanup process, you should be able to occupy the property without concern that it is not in the same condition as it was prior to being damaged by sewage.
