Sewage Back-up In Your Business

2/11/2022 (Permalink)

Actions to take in the event of sewage backup:

You can try the following few things when there is a sewage backup in your business:

  • If you have an automatic system, turn it off and ensure that all drains are clear of standing water.
  • Turn off all humidifiers, space heaters, or steam systems whether you are using power or not.
  • Make sure to remove the air intake vents from the top of your septic tanks regularly to minimize system spills due to ventilation
  • Ensure that the fire doors are closed and locked
  • Learn the warning signs of any backups (water pooling, smell in a restaurant or business) to avoid long-term damage
  • Seek the assistance of registered tank cleaners to inspect your tank monthly, as these will usually be able to tell if there is something wrong with your current bacteria levels and other concerns that can lead to sewage backup
  • Hire a professional sewage backup service to inspect your pipes drain lines and will work closely with you on any remediation as well as maintenance over the years.
