Know what to look for

Signs the problem may be deeper than one drain

Repeated backups and multiple affected fixtures can point to a problem in a larger drain or sewer line rather than a simple clog near one fixture.

Wastewater backing up through a tub, shower, or floor drain
Several fixtures clogging or gurgling together
Recurring stoppages after temporary clearing
Strong sewer odors inside or around the property
Unusually wet or sunken areas near a sewer route
Backups that return when large amounts of water are used

What to do now

Treat wastewater as a contamination concern.

A sewer backup can expose people and materials to contaminated water. Reduce water use and keep people away from the affected area.

01
Stop flushing toilets and reduce nonessential water use when it causes the backup to rise.
02
Keep children and pets away from sewage or wastewater-contaminated areas.
03
Avoid direct contact with the affected water and explain where the backup is entering the property.

Frequently asked questions

Sewer Line Repair questions

General answers before you choose a local service page.

How do I know whether the main sewer line is clogged?

Multiple fixtures backing up, gurgling together, or sending wastewater to the lowest drain can point to a larger shared drain or sewer-line problem.

Should I keep using water during a sewer backup?

Reduce or stop nonessential water use when flushing, draining, or running appliances makes the backup worse.

Is sewage in the home dangerous?

Wastewater can contain contaminants. Keep people and pets away from the area, avoid direct contact, and use appropriate protection during any cleanup.

Can tree roots damage sewer lines?

Roots can enter through joints and damaged sections and may contribute to recurring blockages or pipe damage.

Does every sewer backup require line replacement?

No. The correct solution depends on whether the issue is a blockage, localized damage, repeated root intrusion, a collapsed section, or another condition.
