### Sewage Backup Causes and Effects
Sewage backups can result from various factors, including:
* Blockages in plumbing systems due to debris, tree roots, or grease buildup
* Structural damage to pipes
* Heavy rainfall and flooding
* Aged or failing septic systems
Consequences of untreated sewage backups include:
* Exposure to harmful pathogens, leading to gastrointestinal illnesses, skin infections, and respiratory problems
* Foul odors and unsanitary conditions
* Damage to property and belongings
### How to Clean a Backed Up Drain
If you encounter a backed-up drain, it’s essential to take immediate action to minimize contamination:
* **Turn off the Water Source:** Locate the water shutoff valve for the affected fixture and turn it off.
* **Avoid Flushing:** Do not use any fixtures connected to the backed-up line, as this can worsen the problem.
* **Plunge the Drain:** Using a plunger, attempt to dislodge the blockage. Fill the sink or tub with a few inches of water and seal the overflow hole. Pump the plunger vigorously for several seconds.
* **Use a Drain Snake:** Insert a drain snake into the drain and slowly turn the handle to remove the obstruction.
* **Call a Professional:** If these methods fail to resolve the issue, contact a licensed Sewage Cleanup Service provider.
