A sewage backup in your home or commercial property is one of the most unpleasant problems a property owner can face; it is disgusting and nasty. If you have a sewage backup in your home or business, you need to attend to it immediately. It is hazardous to the health of anyone exposed to it and the longer it is untreated the worse it becomes. Sewage is toxic; full of contaminants, chemicals, pesticides, fungi, and bacteria that can cause illness, disease and death. Exposure is equally dangerous to people and pets.

If you have a sewage leak, do not attempt to clean it yourself. Coming into contact with sewage in any way, whether skin contact or inhalation, can cause illness. The National Resources Defense Council reports that nearly 2 million cases of illnesses are caused by sewage contamination each year.
