A sewage backup occurs when wastewater flows back into a home instead of out to the sewer. This often appears in basement drains, toilets, or floor drains and can bring raw sewage into living spaces.
Raw sewage poses serious health risks. It contains bacteria and contaminants that should not be handled without protective equipment.
If sewage enters your home, stop using water immediately and keep people and pets away. Professional emergency drain unblocking should be called right away
