Why Sewer Backups Happen
A sewer backup occurs when wastewater cannot exit your property and instead reverses direction, pushing sewage into:
- Basement drains
- Toilets
- Showers & tubs
- Laundry drains
- Commercial drains
- Kitchen lines
The most common causes include:
- A clogged sewer line
- Root intrusion
- Grease, sludge, or scale buildup
- Wipes or foreign objects
- Broken or collapsed sections of pipe
- Heavy rain or city sewer overload
- Outdoor drains clogged with mud or sediment
PowerFlo’s advanced equipment and experienced technicians can diagnose and resolve all of these issues quickly.
