Sewer Backups Can Occur at Your Business Premises. SERVPRO Commercial Water Cleanup Specialists Can Help Recover Your Wilmington Business.

Why does sewer backup occur?

Sewer backups occur when there is significant pressure in the waster water mains of your Wilmington business. These can be the result of external forces and come directly from the county wastewater sewer. Alternatively, large amounts of usage or improper maintenance can contribute to a sewer backup. These emergencies can lead to raw sewage entering your premises and may force a temporary closure. SERVPRO technicians are equipped to deal with bio-hazardous substances, including raw sewage, by enacting a process that both clears away the damages as well as restores indoor air quality. In an emergency, our phone lines are available twenty-four hours a day for businesses in need.

Do I need professional cleaning for a sewer backup?

Unsanitary conditions involving sewer water and gases can be dangerous. To ensure your business premises do not pose a threat to staff or customers, you should opt for commercial water cleanup services here in Wilmington. A commercial cleaner has the necessary equipment and expertise to assess the level of harm in property and restore it using advanced equipment like self-priming trash pumps. Usually, SERVPRO commercial teams conduct thorough disinfection of the affected area as well as bring in air filtration devices (AFD) to the property to ensure that sewer gases are restored correctly.

How can I prevent sewer backup?

  • Install a pressure dump in the sewer pipes of your building to avoid costly high-pressure damages
  • Conduct regular professional maintenance of your plumbing to avoid pressure points or loose jointing
  • Identify and isolate potential problem points early to avoid costs further down the line
