A need for sewage removal in your home can be caused by things like an overflowing toilet, a malfunctioning septic tank, or a broken sewer line. One of best ways to avoid sewage problems is to avoid putting things down your drains that may clog the system, such as feminine hygiene products, grease, oils, and wet wipes. There are many more types of products and materials to avoid, so it is best to check labels or ask a professional plumber if something is safe to go down your drain. If in doubt, throw it in the trash can, not your drain. If you have a septic tank, it’s also important to keep it maintained and get it pumped out at least every 3 to 5 years to avoid backups.

Even if you try your best to avoid causing sewage problems, sometimes things can happen that are out of your control. If you do experience a need for sewage removal in your home, trying to clean it up by yourself is not the best idea. Sewage can contain harmful bacteria that can cause infections or diseases. The waste can also carry toxic gases that may be flammable and should be handled with precaution. Using chemicals to clean up the mess may also release fumes that can be harmful to inhale and cause irritation if they come in contact with your skin.
