Just like any plumbing in a home, the sewer system has many different working parts and pipes that can get clogged, broken or stop functioning. Unfortunately, when these problems occur, it is not always just water that is getting backed up or leaking into the home.
Waste material not only can do the same damage as water, it also is foul in odor and can be hazardous to the occupants in the home. Some common sewer emergencies are:
A sewer pipe or line may break and cause clogs and backups in the sewer system of the home. The first signs may be odor and leaking sewage, either inside the home or in the yard surrounding the house. Tree roots are a common cause of sewer pipe breakage outside the home.
If sewer pipes get clogged it can cause sewage backup and even flood the home. Depending on where the clog is, the sewage backup may affect one or several plumbing areas in the home. The toilet is usually the first place homeowners may notice a sewage backup, however the refuse that is backed up may come up through any drain, usually low drains such as a bath or shower.
The pipes that lead from the home to the city sewer can become clogged and affect the whole home. Most times, these side sewers, even though they are outside the home leading to the city system, are still the responsibility of the homeowner.
In some older plumbing, pipes can become offset, meaning two sections of the pipe are no longer properly aligned or connected. This can cause clogs and backups within the system.

Clogs in sewer drains or household drains linked to your sewer lines is one type of sewer emergency that warrants giving us a call immediately. Others include broken sewer lines, foul sewer odors in your home, and sewage backups or seepage.
Having regular inspections done is one way to prevent serious clogs. This is something we can do quickly with high-definition sewer cameras.
Regular video inspections can also be beneficial if you have older pipes and mature trees in the same area. With any new tree or shrub plantings, make sure a proper distance – at least 10 feet is recommended –is kept from your sewer lines.
Avoid flushing toilets or using any water that goes into your sewer line to keep the problem from getting worse. Our team will arrive promptly to mitigate any further damage.
