Sewage Backups & Irmo Health Standards
Most water damage emergencies in Irmo start with combined sewer overflow during heavy nor'easter rainfall events. From the second water touches the property, every minute changes what gets saved and what gets ripped out.
Irmo's proximity to Lake Murray and its location in Richland County make it particularly vulnerable to sewage backups during heavy rainfall. The area experiences frequent flooding due to its low-lying terrain and the aging infrastructure, which can lead to backups in both residential and commercial properties.
