  • Sewer system backups occur when wastewater is unable to flow freely through the main sewer line and returns to the home. These backups can result from various factors, such as clogs, tree roots infiltrating the pipes, or collapsed sewer lines. Homeowners typically notice issues when drains start to slow, multiple fixtures experience blockages, or water backs up into lower-level areas of the home. Ignoring these signs can lead to more severe problems, including contamination, structural damage, and health hazards.

  • Several factors contribute to sewer system backups, including:

    1. Clogs: Common household waste like grease, hair, and soap scum can accumulate in drains over time. When these clogs block the sewer line, wastewater has no place to go and can flow back into your home.
    2. Tree Roots: As trees grow, their roots can invade underground pipes in search of moisture. This is especially problematic in older homes with clay or cast-iron pipes. Root infiltration can lead to cracks, blockages, and eventual sewer backups.
    3. Damaged Sewer Lines: Aging or corroded pipes are prone to collapsing or cracking. If the sewer line is damaged, it restricts the normal flow of wastewater, causing backups into your home.
    4. Heavy Rainfall: Excessive rain can overwhelm the local sewer systems, particularly if they are combined sewer systems. When stormwater combines with sewage and exceeds the system's capacity, it can push sewage back into homes.
