Warning Signs of a Sewer Backup
Multiple Drains Backing Up at Once
When toilets, tubs, and sinks all back up together, the problem is likely in your main sewer line.
Gurgling Sounds from Drains and Toilets
Bubbling or gurgling when you flush or run water often means the sewer line is blocked.
Sewage Smell in the Home
Foul sewage odors from drains or in the basement can indicate a backup or blockage.
Water Backing Up in Floor Drains
Wastewater surfacing in basement floor drains is a critical sign of a sewer backup.
Slow Drains Throughout the House
When every drain runs slowly, the main sewer line may be obstructed.
Our Emergency Sewer Backup Cleaning Process
01
Camera Inspection to Locate the Blockage
We run a sewer camera through your line to find exactly where the blockage is and what's causing it.
02
Heavy-Duty Clearing
Using professional-grade equipment, we break through and clear the blockage from your sewer line.
03
Flushing the Line
We flush the line to wash away debris and restore full flow.
04
Final Camera Check
We run the camera through once more to confirm the line is clear.
What Causes Sewer Backups
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots grow into sewer lines through joints and cracks, eventually blocking the flow.
Grease and Debris Blockages
Grease, wipes, and debris can accumulate in the sewer line until it backs up.
Heavy Rain Overwhelming the System
Heavy rainfall can overwhelm sewer systems, causing backups into homes.
Aging or Damaged Pipes
Older clay tile or cast iron pipes can crack, collapse, or separate, leading to backups.
Main Line Obstructions
Blockages in the main sewer line affect every drain in your home.
