Basement sewage are two words that no one who owns property wants to hear, yet year on year more and more homes and businesses are being affected by basement sewage than ever before.

However, like most problems the answer lies with professional assistance and seeking it as soon as possible. Basement sewage is not similar to other kinds of water intrusion because it carries with it the added threat to health as well as smelling and appearing worse than a flood by clean water.

Extra moisture within a basement could be caused by a number of different problems but basement sewage can only be caused by a monumental failure or blockage of the sewer system of your property. This could be something as simple as a blockage or something a lot more serious such as a broken pipe or a collapsed sewer.

Any flood waters that contain raw sewage are going to present a health hazard and this is why.

This is the main reason why when faced with basement sewage that you and your family should not enter the affected area and instead call out your local basement sewage recovery company. They will arrive at your home or business within minutes and then begin to asses the situation. They will then begin the process of removing the offending raw sewage and once this has been completed they will commence the salvaging of your personal belongings.
