Sewage back-ups can be very dangerous to home and business owners and their loved ones. There are many risks created by infectious agents found in the waste material that runs over into your house or business.

A sewage back up occurs when the drainage pipes that are connected from your house or business to the main drainage pipes become jammed with tree roots or other materials that have been introduced to the system. The materials in those pipes contain microorganisms that are considered to be harmful. It is not only considered dirty, but also toxic because of the presence of harmful bacteria, germs, viruses and fungi in the organic matter. That wastewater is meant to go directly to a treatment plant that eradicates the dangerous germs and pathogens. If it stops anywhere before making it to the treatment plant, it is considered raw sewage and is very dangerous.
If the over-flow is not taken care of immediately waste water can ooze into the walls, carpets and other flooring, making it much more difficult to clean up. Each surface and area that has come in contact with the wastewater must be decontaminated using proper procedures to insure complete eradication of the bacteria and to inhibit the possibility of dangerous mold growth.

Of course you have the option of cleaning it up yourself. However it is a very arduous task that takes a not only a large amount of physical effort, but there are chances of becoming infected from the toxic water if proper equipment and proper procedures are not used.
