Why San Diego Homes Get Sewage Backups
Many San Diego homes in neighborhoods like North Park, South Park, Mission Hills, and City Heights were built in the 1950s and 60s. The original clay pipes in these homes are old, cracked, and failing.
Heavy winter storms overload the city sewer system and push sewage back into homes. Areas like Mission Valley, Chula Vista, and National City are hit the hardest. South Bay homes near the border face extra risk because of the ongoing Tijuana River sewage crisis which puts the whole local sewer system under constant pressure.

Biohazard Containment Chamber
Why You Should Not Clean Sewage Yourself
Raw sewage contains E. coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis A, and other dangerous germs. Regular store bought cleaners are not strong enough to handle it.
