There are numerous reasons why your home’s sewer system has backed up.

However, here are some of the most common causes we have recorded throughout our years in business:

• Blockages in municipal sewer lines
• Tree roots that have grown into sewer lines to create blockages
• Gutters and downspout blockages after periods of heavy rainfall
• Homes that do not have sump pumps installed
• Homeowners who are not mindful of what they flush down the drain, which then causes backups
• Sump pumps and downspouts that have not been adequately routed from the home

As you can see, there are several reasons why you may be experiencing sewer backup. Therefore, if this is something you are currently experiencing in your home, we encourage you to reach out to the professional plumbing team at Oosterveld Heating for assistance! 

Sewer backup odors can be irritating and harmful, which is why sewer water removal and cleanup are critical. Items that have come in contact with sewage will need to be cleaned and disinfected with bleach, soap, and water. On the other hand, toys, apparel, and other polluted items should be discarded or washed, and disinfected properly. When cleaning your home, it is critical that you wear protective gloves, a mask, and other clothing to ensure that you do not come in direct contact with any pollutants.
