Based in Ocala, Florida, Restoration Specialists is a leading residential and commercial contractor with other locations in Brooksville, Gainesville, Leesburg, Lake City, and Lecanto. One of the services Restoration Specialists performs is sewage-backup remediation.
In a typical home, wastewater from washing dishes, taking a bath or shower, or flushing a toilet, usually goes down pipes before ending up in the sewer. Sometimes, however, water gushes back into a home through the kitchen sink or bathroom drainage. There are a number of things that can cause sewer backup. For example, it can be due to septic systems that become strained due to floods. High volumes of water in sewer systems can also cause it. Other times, sewer backup is the result of sewer pipe blockage. Sewer backup causes more than just property damage. The wastewater that gushes back into a home is a health hazard, containing microorganisms that can cause gastrointestinal distress and skin rashes. This is why people should never touch items contaminated by sewage, like floor mats and rugs. If you experience sewer backup in your home or office, contact a home restoration company immediately. Do not attempt to clean the sewage, disinfect surfaces, or decontaminate furnishings yourself, as you will be in contact with toxic water. It is better to have a qualified professional identify the root cause of the backup and fix it, as well as decontaminate impacted surfaces.
