Sewage Back-Up Services in Vancouver

A sewage backup is when waste flows backward into the home from a faucet, toilet, shower, bathtub, or any other water connected appliance. It usually occurs due to blockage, flooding, or a pipe burst. Therefore, your lowest drains are the most likely to regurgitate sewage.

The reason why sewage backups are such a big deal is that they often involve what the industry refers to as “black water”, the third and most severe classification of floodwater. Black water is highly contaminated and poses a significant risk of illness or death if consumed by humans, but it can also make people sick by simply breathing in particles in the air or through other avenues of exposure. But sewage backups are not the only source of black water; it can also come from rising floodwaters that spill into basements or when groundwater begins to flow into your property.
