Understanding What Sanitary Sewer Overflow is
When untreated sewage discharges from a sanitary sewer into the environment before reaching treatment facilities, this is considered Sanitary Sewer Overflow. These events can contaminate water bodies, damage property, and pose serious health risks. Things like clogs and blockages from fats, oils, and grease, infiltration of stormwater, equipment failures, and old, outdated equipment can all contribute to these Sanitary Sewer Overflows.
The Possible Challenges of Traditional Methods
Traditional methods to prevent SSOs often involve reactive measures like mechanical cleaning, chemical treatments, or infrastructure overhauls. While these can provide temporary relief, they may not address the root causes and can be costly and environmentally.

We don’t use harsh chemicals or surfactants that can cause issues for your pipes and infrastructure because we’re in the business of solving problems for you, not creating them. Once the system is set up, we run it – saving you and your staff time and money.
