Toilet Overflow Repair and Cleanup in Greater Tulsa, OK

The toilet is one of man's greatest inventions. It plays an essential role in maintaining personal hygiene in a controlled, comfortable, private environment. To serve its intended purpose, it must function properly.

Unfortunately, there are times when it does not. On those occasions, a toilet malfunction commands our immediate attention because its contents will create a major health hazard when not disposed of properly. Yet on too many occasions, people flush improper items down the toilet and create clogs in the plumbing pipes connected to the bowl.

That can trigger a toilet overflow, a type of water damage that is difficult to rectify and often causes major property damage. To solve that issue, it is best to lean on the IICRC-certified cleaning experts from All-Star Disaster Restoration.

The Dangers of Toilet Overflow

A toilet overflow usually is created by a clog that prevents the bowl's contents from flushing. However, it can also occur if your sewer line is damaged or if there is a defect in the plumbing system. When the toilet water cannot flow down the main drain, it will back up. In a matter of seconds, it can turn your bathroom into a flood zone.

For health reasons, it is not wise to handle the overflow by yourself. Even if the water looks clear, it’s still riddled with germs, bacteria and disease-causing pathogens. If raw sewage is in the water, the situation is even worse. Hazardous residues are difficult to remove once they have soaked your walls, floors, bat mats and furniture. Our certified crews are specially trained to deal with such cleaning challenges for homeowners and commercial customers in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
