If more than one drain in your home is slow or backed up, it could indicate a main sewer line problem rather than individual fixture clogs.
Strange gurgling or bubbling sounds from drains, especially when using other fixtures, signal air trapped in the sewer line.
A sewage odor in your home, especially in the basement, indicates sewer gases are escaping due to a backup or damaged line.
Water backing up in shower or tub when you flush the toilet, or toilets overflowing, is a clear sign of sewer line blockage.
If all drains in your home are slow despite attempts to clear them, the problem is likely in the main sewer line.
Sewage appearing in basement floor drains is an emergency – contact us immediately for urgent service.
Understanding the cause helps prevent future problems
Tree roots are the #1 cause of sewer line damage. Roots seek moisture and can infiltrate pipes through tiny cracks, eventually causing major blockages or breaking the pipe entirely.
Wipes (even "flushable" ones), paper towels, feminine products, and other non-biodegradable items can accumulate and cause major sewer line blockages.
Older pipes made of clay, cast iron, or orangeburg can crack, collapse, or corrode over time, leading to backups and leaks.
A belly or low spot in the sewer line can accumulate waste and cause recurring backups, even after cleaning.
Over time, soil shifting from freeze/thaw cycles or construction can damage or misalign sewer pipes, causing backups.
Pouring grease down the drain solidifies in pipes and accumulates over time, eventually causing significant blockages in the main line.
Don't attempt to handle a sewer backup yourself – it poses health risks and can cause more damage. Our expert team is ready to respond quickly to protect your home and family.
