Sewage Backup on Porch

You never think about your sewer pipes until they don't work properly. Your plumbing systems have to handle every drop of water that falls from your home. These systems also catch every strand of hair and cup of grease, as well as every ounce of soaps, shampoo and laundry detergent. When combined these items can clog your pipes and cause a sewer back up. There are multiple other causes of sewer backups. Knowing the causes of sewer backups can help you troubleshoot your home's drain system and determine whether you can fix it yourself, or need assistance of a professional plumber; however, SERVPRO of North Prince William County serviced this customer who had a sewer line back up causing sewage back up in the inside and outside of his home. SERVPRO responded quickly to the call and at the end the insured was so happy with the end results and expected a much longer process.
