Fast, Safe Sewage Cleanup for Homes & Businesses

Plumbing Overflow and Sewage Cleanup in Austin, Texas

Are you in need of sewage cleanup services in Austin, Texas?

Hire WOW Total Cleaning & Restoration! Backed-up toilets pose a clear problem for indoor flooding. The unsanitary water that can overflow is very difficult to clean up and poses dangerous health risks to those nearby. Toilet overflows occur when the pipes leading to the sewer are blocked, either by solid objects like tissue paper or by backed-up fecal matter. There are also mechanical issues, such as a damaged balloon in the toilet’s water tank, causing water to continuously enter and eventually overflow.

In instances such as these, don’t leave anything to chance – it’s best to contact the experts and get your toilet fixed as soon as possible. Once the flooding has started to affect areas outside the toilet, you know it will take more than regular plumbing services to resolve it. As a result, you might want to consider more specialized remediation methods for water damage issues, such as toilet overflow. Contact us today if you have any questions about our services.

Proper disposals

As devastating as a sewage backup can be, there are a few ways to prevent it and make it less severe when it does occur. One step is to dispose of grease properly—it may be tempting to just chuck that bacon grease down the sink, but the better option is to throw it away. Also, making sure that paper products are properly disposed of is another preventive tip. Wipes, paper towels, diapers, and feminine products all should be thrown away in the trash, not flushed down the toilet. These products were not meant to be used in a plumbing system, as they do not deteriorate. Cutting tree roots also helps, as it prevents them from overgrowing and causing a pipe to burst. While these tips can temporarily prevent a burst pipe, they are not permanent. Plumbing, even with expert care, is bound to break at some point. But what is more important is what to do when a pipe burst happens.

What to do when your pipes burst

If your pipes have burst, and sewage backup has begun to invade your home, it’s easy to begin panicking if you don’t know what to do. Thankfully, there are a few steps you can take to mitigate the damage and bring some sense to this situation. The first step is to make sure your water line is turned off. This is done to prevent further water and sewage backups from entering your home. It may also be a good idea to cut off the electricity to your home, as a sewage backup can cause electrical fires. After these two steps are done, it’s a good idea to put on personal protective equipment, such as gloves, long sleeves, boots, goggles, and a face mask, to prevent any ingestion and to prevent any ill effects of the toxic sewage, and try your best to move furniture and other valuables away from the sewage. Remember that your plumbing system cannot be used if there is a sewage backup—this will only cause more waste to enter your home. It’s best to call a professional, such as WOW Total Cleaning & Restoration, to begin the clean-up and restoration process immediately.
