Common signs of a sewage backup usually include slow drains, foul-smelling odors, water backing up into floor drains or tubs, and gurgling sounds in toilets. You may also see wet spots around the yard or foundation. Such symptoms indicate a sewer line issue and must be addressed promptly to prevent further damage to your property.

You have to act immediately. Sewage water contains harmful bacteria and toxins that can pose major health risks and may damage the quality of your home within hours. Quick sewage maintenance or repair response helps limit contamination, damage costs, and structural harm. Calling a sewage cleanup expert as soon as possible ensures safe cleanup and averts worse problems.

Minor spills can still carry dangerous pathogens and bacteria. Thus, DIY cleanup may not be a smart move. Without the right equipment and disinfectant, it’s easy to overlook contaminated locations. Specialized cleanup ascertains every surface is exhaustively sanitized, hazardous waste is removed, and your home is restored to its habitable condition.

Generally speaking, sewage cleanups are completed within a day, but timing depends on the severity of the damage. Our Costa Mesa sewage cleanup team works efficiently to eradicate waste, properly sanitize the area, and restore the original condition of your home. We’ll provide a clear timeline after the first inspection so you always know what to expect.

Proper prevention starts with good habits. Avoid flushing grease or wipes, schedule yearly sewage inspections, and think about installing a backflow valve. Keep trees with invasive roots away from sewer lines. Tweedy Plumbing offers maintenance programs that include scheduled checks and system diagnostics to catch small issues before they exacerbate.
