Signs of a Sewer Backup

  • Sewage or wastewater coming up through floor drains or the lowest fixture in the house
  • Multiple toilets, tubs, or sinks backing up at the same time
  • Strong sewage odor inside the building
  • Gurgling from drains throughout the property
  • Water backing up when a washing machine or dishwasher drains

What To Do Immediately

Stop using all water in the building — running any additional water can worsen the backup. Avoid contact with the affected water, which may contain raw sewage, and keep the area ventilated if possible while you wait for a technician.

How We Respond

Our technicians prioritize sewer backup calls and arrive equipped to diagnose the cause immediately — typically a main line blockage from roots, grease, or a structural failure. We use camera inspection to confirm the cause, then clear the line using hydro jetting or mechanical cutting as appropriate.

Multi-Unit and Commercial Backups

A backup in a shared line affecting multiple units or tenants requires fast, coordinated response. We work directly with property managers to communicate what's happening and get the building back to normal as quickly as possible.

After the Backup Is Cleared

Once the line is clear, we recommend a camera inspection to confirm there's no remaining damage and discuss whether a preventive maintenance schedule makes sense to avoid a repeat backup.
