  • How can a sewer backup be stopped?

    To prevent sewer backup in the future, homeowners can:

    • Be mindful about what they flush down the drain
    • Ensure their downspouts and gutters are cleaned yearly to prevent clogging
    • Install a sump pump in their homes
    • Install a backwater valve
    • Reach out to a professional plumbing company for further customized solutions
  • What should you do if every drain is clogged?

    If every drain in your home is clogged, it is vital that you contact a professional plumber immediately. While waiting for a plumber to arrive, do not turn on any faucets or flush any toilets to prevent further backup from occurring.

    Oosterveld Heating is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We do not charge extra fees for services executed after hours, on weekends, or on holidays. Call and book your appointment with our professional plumbing team in Guelph today for high-quality solutions tailored to your needs.

  • What causes a sewer backup most frequently?

    There are numerous reasons why your home’s sewer system has backed up.

    However, here are some of the most common causes we have recorded throughout our years in business:

    • Blockages in municipal sewer lines
    • Tree roots that have grown into sewer lines to create blockages
    • Gutters and downspout blockages after periods of heavy rainfall
    • Homes that do not have sump pumps installed
    • Homeowners who are not mindful of what they flush down the drain, which then causes backups
    • Sump pumps and downspouts that have not been adequately routed from the home

    As you can see, there are several reasons why you may be experiencing sewer backup. Therefore, if this is something you are currently experiencing in your home, we encourage you to reach out to the professional plumbing team at Oosterveld Heating for assistance! 

  • How should a sewer backup be cleaned up?

    Sewer backup odors can be irritating and harmful, which is why sewer water removal and cleanup are critical. Items that have come in contact with sewage will need to be cleaned and disinfected with bleach, soap, and water. On the other hand, toys, apparel, and other polluted items should be discarded or washed, and disinfected properly. When cleaning your home, it is critical that you wear protective gloves, a mask, and other clothing to ensure that you do not come in direct contact with any pollutants.
