Sewage Back-up

Wastewater from your shower, bathtub, washing machine, dishwasher, kitchen sink and toilet is all considered sewage - it isn't just from the toilet. Interestingly, sewage is actually 99.8% water.

A typical 4-person household produces around 400–500 litres of sewage every day.

Liquid waste from business and industry – also known as trade waste – is considered sewage or wastewater as well.

Sewerage on the other hand refers to the system of pipes, pumping stations and treatment facilities that collect and treat sewage.

Over the winter the frozen ground had caused a sewage back-up. It was a nasty one. We came in an extracted liquid, disposed of contents and demoed affected area.
