How Does Sewer Damage Occur?

Sewer damage can occur for various reasons, including blockages in the main sewer line, backup from a clogged drain or toilet, tree root intrusion, or damaged sewer pipes. Heavy rainfall or flooding can also cause sewer damage as the excess water can overwhelm the sewer system.

Additionally, age-related wear and tear of sewer pipes can lead to cracks, corrosion, or collapsed pipes, causing sewer damage. Regardless of the cause, it’s crucial to address sewer damage promptly to prevent further damage and potential health hazards.

Signs Of Water and Sewer Damage

While the signs of water damage in houses and commercial buildings may vary, here are some of the most common indicators of water damage–

• Water Stains – A strong indicator of water damage in your building is the presence of water stains. Your walls or roofs may have a water leak if you notice water stains on your floors, walls, and ceilings.
• Humidity – High humidity levels inside your building could be an obvious symptom of water damage. When humidity levels spike up, it leads to water stains, crumbling paint, and even structural damage over time.
• Mold and Mildew Growth – Mold and mildew thrive in wet environments. If you notice green, black, or white spots on your walls or ceilings, your property may have water damage. Mold may cause your home to smell musty, which is incredibly bad for your health.
• Leaky Pipes – If your home has leaky pipes, it’s probably because there is undetected water damage. If not repaired quickly, such pipes can cause water buildup in your walls, flooring, and other locations. Over time, it may result in structural damage.
• Spike in Utility Costs – If your water bills have risen, and you’re unaware of what’s causing them, the reason might be undetected water damage. Similarly, when water seeps into insulation or building materials, there is a dysregulation of temperature, leading to higher energy bills.

Water Damage Categories

When dealing with water damage, we apply our restoration techniques according to the water damage categories. Here are the 3 categories of water damage–

Category 1: Clean Water

In this category, the water originates from a clean and sanitary source. The common sources of such water are overflowing sinks, melting ice, broken water supply lines, and uncontaminated rainwater. If you’re exposed to this water, there is no substantial risk as it’s free from contaminants. When restoring category A water damage, we dry the affected areas and repair damaged materials.

Category 2: Greywater

The gray water in this category is mildly contaminated and may lead to illness upon exposure. Gray water originates from sources like overflowing dishwashers or washing machines, broken aquariums, and toilet bowl leaks. Such water has contaminants like chemicals and microorganisms. To clean up category B water damage, we conduct thorough sanitation and disinfection of the affected areas. In cases where we cannot properly dry the materials (like carpet padding), we replace them.

Category 3: Blackwater

In this category, the water is extremely contaminated, and upon exposure to it, you may face significant health risk reactions. Black water contains harmful toxins, pathogens, and hazardous materials. The common sources of black water are sewer-damaged water, seawater, and toilet water. When restoring a category C water damage, we take extensive safety precautions. We remove all affected cosmetic materials like insulation, hardwood flooring, drywall, carpet padding, carpet, and cushions.
