The Effects of Sewage Backup

The effects of sewage backup take place on three different levels: to your home, to your body, and to your finances.

Your home is the first to be effected as dirty water seeps into the crevasses and eternally, and internally, damages the property. Support beams could rot. Carpet could mildew. Floorboards could give way. Drywall could fall apart. Water is not a friend to any of the interior elements of your precious building.

Your body is the next effected. First by touch. Sewage backup can cause uncomfortable rashes if you touch the nasty substance. Then by digestion. If you accidentally swallowed even a drop, you may have severe stomachaches. If you swallow anymore, you may be subject to worse diseases and ultimately death. Finally, buy inhalation. Beyond the uncomfortable smell, all water damage scenarios cause mold growth, which then affect your breathing.

By shutting off your water line and staying away from the disaster, you can reduce the potential damage to your home and body. However, you need to get a hold of sewage backup Rye professionals such as those at 911 Restoration Westchster in order to save your finances, which only become more damaged with time.
