Targeting the Source of the Problem

When water backwards into your home or office from a faucet, toilet, appliance, etc., a sewage backup has occurred. This backup is usually caused by a blockage, pipe burst, or flooding.

• Pipe Blockage: Pipe blockages can be caused by tree roots, plastic, toilet paper, or other insoluble products. Pressure buildup sends water in the opposite direction and back into your home.
• Pipe Burst: When tree roots extend far into the ground in search of water, they can pierce pipes. As the root continues to grow and thicken, it can send water back into your home or cause pipe burst.
• Flooding: When your home or office floods, the water pressure changes causing sewage lines to flow backwards into your property.

How to avoid sewage backups

• Do not flush paper down the drain. Some paper items never fully dissolve in the water, leaving behind a pulpy mess that will clog under the right conditions
• Do not pour grease down the drain. Grease may be liquid after cooking and is easy to pour down the drain. However, grease will solidify when it cools down. Over time, this grease residue will line the walls of your pipes and reduce their width. Thus, your drain capacity will decrease and can bring about other problems.
• Invest in grates for your drains. Grates in sinks and drains are simple solution to prevent clogs. Make sure to clean the drain and dispose of any buildup.
