Sewer Backup


The sound of water can be soothing unless the water is running somewhere; it shouldn’t be like in your house, in your basement. There are many reasons that unwanted water can end up getting into your home. One Dangerous common cause of water damage is overflow when water starts overflowing, and it gets back into your home, and the clean-up process will be extensive and costly. A Sewer backup occurs when something blocks the normal flow of water from your home pipe to the city sanitary pipe, and that time sewage starts to backup in your house; many factors can cause that.

  • Too much rainwater
  • Too much melted snow entering the sewage system.
  • Tree roots entering sewage lines
  • Blockage in city sanitary
  • Sump pump failure
  • Blockage in sewer Pipes
  • Broken or collapsed sewer lines
