Three Common Causes of Sewage Backup

• One of the most unpleasant disasters for a homeowner to deal with is the backup of their home’s sewer system. • When a heavy rainstorm or clog or block in the sewer line causes a

sewage system to become overloaded, waste can get pushed back through the line into the home—through a basement’s drains, toilets, and even shower heads. • This obviously causes damage to the home, but it is also hazardous to

one’s health, as sewage contains all kinds of chemical and biological contaminants.

• Many homeowners that we’ve worked with to remediate sewage system backups want to know exactly what can cause this nightmare. • Generally, sewer line backups are caused by one of the following

issues in the city’s main sewer lines or your home’s sewer lines—or both:

Blockage• Tree roots are a

standard culprit when it involves a sewer main backup. • Roots can grow into

pipes and make holes or cracks in them, or maybe wrap themselves around a sewer main.

Clogs • Clogs in your home’s drain pipes

or the city’s main sewer main can cause a sewage backup, pushing waste that ought to flow into the general public sewage system back to your home. • Clogs can come from hair, an

accumulation of cooking grease, or other solid materials that wastewater pipes aren't meant to handle.

Old or broken lines

• Older homes, especially , might experience deterioration of their drains and features . • When this happens, tree and

shrub roots round the home can break or puncture pipes.
