A sewage cleanup service is a professional service that helps to clean up and restore areas that have been affected by sewage backups or spills. Sewage cleanup services are typically provided by companies that specialize in cleaning up hazardous materials.
Sewer Line Maintenance and Repair
Regular sewer line maintenance and repair can help to prevent sewage backups and spills. Sewer lines can become clogged by a variety of materials, including grease, hair, and tree roots. Regular cleaning and inspection of sewer lines can help to remove these materials and prevent them from causing a backup.
How do you fix a backed up sewer drain?
If your sewer drain is backed up, there are a few things you can do to try to fix it yourself.
- Check the cleanout. The cleanout is a small, removable cap on the sewer line. If the cleanout is clogged, it can prevent water from flowing out of the sewer line and cause a backup.
- Remove debris from the drain. Hair, grease, and other materials can clog the drain and cause a backup. Removing these materials can help to restore the flow of water.
- Snake the drain. A drain snake is a long, flexible tool that can be used to clear clogs from sewer lines. If the clog is located deep in the sewer line, you may need to use a drain snake to remove it.
If you are unable to fix the backed up sewer drain yourself, you should call a professional sewage cleanup service.
