What Causes a Sewer Drain to Back Up?
A sewage backup occurs when water cannot drain away from your home or business because the sewer pipes that carry wastewater are obstructed or damaged.

Sewage pipe obstruction is typically caused by tree root infiltration, a buildup of erroneously flushed sanitary products, and freeze-thaw damage. Broken sewer pipes are commonly caused by settled soil or incorrectly installed drain pipes.
Symptoms of a Sewer Line Back Up
Symptoms of sewer backups can include a sewer backup smell, slow-running drains in the kitchen, bathroom, shower, or basement, or gurgling sounds from the toilet when you run water in the sink.
These are warning signs of a sewer line backup due to clogged or blocked sewer lines, and should be addressed quickly so as not to become an emergency health hazard due to potential contamination and mold growth.
Clear indications of pipe obstruction that requires sewer drain cleaning or wastewater pipe replacement include sewer backup into the bathtub or toilet, or any other sewer backup in your house or business.
