**Sewage Cleanup Service** provides expert solutions for sewage backups, restoring your property to normalcy. These backups occur when wastewater from drains, toilets, or sinks flows in the wrong direction, causing significant damage and health hazards.

### Causes of Sewage Backups

* **Clogged Pipes:** Grease, hair, and debris can accumulate in pipes, obstructing the flow of sewage.
* **Tree Roots:** Invasive tree roots can penetrate pipes, causing cracks and blockages.
* **Aging Infrastructure:** Deteriorated or outdated sewer systems can lead to pipe collapses and backups.
* **Heavy Rainfall:** Excessive precipitation can overwhelm sewer systems, causing backups and overflows.
* **Ground Movement:** Shifting soil or earthquakes can disrupt sewer lines, leading to breaks or leaks.

### Effects of Sewage Backups

* **Property Damage:** Sewage can flood basements, garages, and other areas, causing extensive damage to flooring, walls, and furniture.
* **Health Hazards:** Sewage contains harmful bacteria and viruses that can pose serious health risks, such as gastrointestinal illnesses and respiratory infections.
* **Unpleasant Odor:** Sewage backups emit a pungent odor that can permeate the air, causing discomfort and embarrassment.
* **Costly Repairs:** Fixing sewage backups requires professional cleaning, pipe repair, and sometimes property restoration, which can be expensive.

### Why is Sewage Coming Up in My Shower?

This issue can indicate a blockage in the drain line connecting the shower to the main sewer line. The blockage can be caused by:

* **Hair and Soap Scum:** Accumulated hair and soap residue can form a clog in the drain.
* **Foreign Objects:** Small toys, jewelry, or other objects can accidentally enter the drain and cause an obstruction.
* **Mineral Buildup:** Hard water deposits can accumulate in the drain, narrowing the opening and creating a blockage.
