Sewage gases include other contagious and toxic compounds as well. This can pose a serious threat to your and your family’s heath. In extreme cases even death may be caused - Fire Damage

Identifying
You can identify sewer damage if you come across a similar scenario like:
- Sewer gas odor – If your home constantly smells of waste even though that you clean regularly and keep it clean can mean that your sewage has been damaged and sewage gases are leaking creating the unpleasant odor
- Mold problems – In cases of damaged sewage mold can developed if water has leaked from the damaged pipes. It can cause serious health issues and further damage to your home. Mold must be dealt with immediately and it’s not the only harmful thing that can develop – fungi can be an even greater problem if not detected
- Slow drain – If blockage is being formed in the sewer your sink or toilet may seem to drain slowly and cleaning the pipes may not be enough for fixing the damage. This is another situation that calls for quick reaction and momentarily actions
- Foundation cracks and sinkholes – In more extreme cases damaged pipes and especially leaked water can go deep down into the foundations and create cracks in the slab, settlement or sinkholes. This can be extremely dangerous since the foundation is one of the most important factors in the construction of a building and the main element for load intake. A main sewage line generally goes right below the slab so if the sewage damage happens in this area problems as the described are likely to occur. If you notice any foundation problem, immediately give us a call. We will provide you with a repair specialist to fix the problem before it escalates.
- Rodent or Insect problems – Rodents and insects tend to live in the sewage. If damage and leakage are present, this may lead them to your home. This can be extremely dangerous as not only the creatures may damage your property but the transmit diseases that can cause severe health issues. Be sure to contact our specialists in such a case.
