Sewage Back-Up

Act fast and avoid health risks

Sewage back-up is one of the most unpleasant and stressful things that can happen in your home.

It isn't just dirty and foul-smelling but can be a serious health hazard. Side effects from exposure to sewage include gastroenteritis, inflammation of the lungs, asthma, skin/eye infections, headaches, mild jaundice and hepatitis. This is why it is critical to take immediate action and call and professionals like Flood SOS.

Sewage (also known as septic tank waste) is black or grey water combined with organic waste from different sources. Domestic sewage consists of everything that you throw or flush away in the kitchen, bathroom, toilet and laundry, including soap, solid waste, faeces, hair, tampons and all kinds of household debris.

It is flushed down a pipe system, which runs into a municipal sewer. Sewage back-ups happen if something becomes stuck in the pipe, if the pipe leaks or break or if heavy rains flood and overload drains. At this point, the sewage will spill out of the nearest opening.
