  • Common causes of sewer backups include:

    Clogged Pipes

    One of the most common causes of sewer backups is clogged pipes. Over time, debris such as toilet paper, hair, soap scum, and grease can accumulate in the pipes, leading to blockages. These blockages restrict the flow of wastewater, eventually causing backups.

    Old Sewer Systems

    Aging sewer systems are more prone to backups. As pipes deteriorate, cracks, fractures, or collapses can occur. These structural issues can allow tree roots, soil, and other materials to infiltrate the sewer lines, leading to obstructions and backups.

    Improper Disposal of Waste

    Flushing inappropriate items down the toilet or pouring grease and oil down the drains can contribute to sewer backups. Baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, and non-biodegradable materials should never be flushed as they do not break down.

    Gutters, Downspouts, and Sump Pumps Routed Into the Sewer

    Improperly routed gutters, downspouts, and sump pumps that discharge into the sewer system can overwhelm it, leading to backups. It is essential to ensure that these systems are directed away from the sewer to prevent excessive water flow.

The Importance of Addressing Sewer System Backups Immediately

In addition to their health risks, sewage backups can cause extensive damage to your property. The wastewater can contaminate floors, walls, furniture, and personal belongings, often requiring costly repairs and replacements. Promptly addressing sewer backups can minimize the extent of damage and reduce repair costs.

Sewer backups are also accompanied by foul odors that can permeate your home. These unpleasant smells can be persistent and difficult to eliminate without professional intervention. Addressing sewer backups promptly will help restore a fresh and healthy indoor environment.
