Tree roots are the number one reason for sewer back ups!
Every sewer gets clogged, it is just a matter of time. There are many tips you can follow to prevent a sewer back up, but what exactly do you do when your sewer back ups? First thing is first,
- Do not attempt to open the sewer caps, until or unless you have a sewer cleaning machine ready to be used.
- Try to limit the water usage in the house. This is so that the clogged sewer does not cause a flood in your basement or other lowest spot.
- If your sewer backed up through the basement shower or toilet, put some old towels or news papers around them. This will help stopping the sewer water from spreading all over, in case someone uses the water by mistake.
- Keep children away from the sewer water. Sewer water contains numerous types of germs and diseases.
- Open the windows to allow the air to circulate and prevent the sewer smell from spreading through your house.
- Have cleaning chemicals and disinfectants ready and use them as soon as you have your sewer clog taken care of.
- If the sewer water backs up and reaches your walls, it is highly recommended to call professional cleaners to disinfect the backed up area.
