Signs You Have a Sewage Backup

✓Sewage or wastewater backing up through a drain or toilet

✓Gurgling drains before or during a backup

Why it happens

Sewage backups typically happen when a main line clogs — from grease buildup, tree roots, or age-related pipe damage — or when a municipal sewer system is overwhelmed during heavy rain and pushes wastewater back into connected homes.

Questions

Sewage Backup Questions, Answered

What should I do the moment I notice a sewage backup?

Avoid contact with the water, keep people and pets away from the area, and call us right away rather than attempting to clean it yourself — contaminated water needs proper protective handling.

Why do multiple drains backing up at once matter?

It usually points to a main line clog rather than an isolated fixture issue, which affects how the problem is diagnosed and fixed alongside the cleanup.

Is sewage backup cleanup covered by insurance?

It depends on your policy — some require a specific sewer backup endorsement. We document the incident thoroughly to support your claim either way.
