Why Sewage Backups Hit Egegik Hard
Numbers tell the story in Egegik: permafrost thaw shifting and cracking sewer lines drives the majority of emergency restoration calls.
Egegik's permafrost thaw during spring and summer months causes ground movement, leading to cracked and shifted sewer lines. This results in frequent sewage backups, especially in areas with older infrastructure. The thaw season significantly increases the risk of sewage entering homes and buildings.
