Why Sewage Backups Hit Eek Hard
The pattern in Eek is consistent. permafrost thaw shifting and cracking sewer lines drives most of the emergency restoration calls we get.

This creates a high risk of sewage backups, especially in older infrastructure. The thawing also increases the likelihood of water intrusion into homes, compounding the damage.
