  • Avoid obstructions as well as other debris
  • Reduce pipe related stresses
  • Protect your family, business, and employees from threatening biohazards

What is a Sewage Backup?

A sewage backup occurs when the Sewer system is overloaded with water and/or sewage. This can happen due to heavy rains, melting snow, or clogged pipes. When this happens, the sewage can back up into your home through the toilets, drains, and sinks. A sewage backup is a messy and dangerous situation that should be handled by a professional.

Sewage Backup Causes

Sewage backups can be caused by a variety of reasons, the most common being blockages in the sewage lines. Grease, fat, and other debris can accumulate over time and create a blockage, which will backup the sewage line and cause it to overflow. Tree roots are also a common cause of sewage backups, as they can grow into the sewage lines and create a blockage. Other causes of sewer backups include cracked or broken pipes, improper installation, and even extreme weather conditions. If you experience a sewage backup, it is important to contact a professional plumber immediately to have the issue resolved. Sewage backups can cause extensive damage to your home and can even pose a health hazard, so it is important to take care of the problem as soon as possible.

If you have a sewage backup, please call 1-800-Plumber +Air of Portland immediately. We will dispatch a technician to your home to assess the situation and begin the repair process. Sewage backups are usually caused by a blockage in the sewer line. This can be caused by tree roots, grease, or other debris that has built up over time.

How to Prevent Sewage Backup

Sewage backups can be a major inconvenience and even a health hazard. But they are usually preventable. The most common causes of sewage backups are blockages in the sewer line caused by inappropriate items being flushed down the toilet or drained down the sink, tree roots growing into the sewer line, and severe weather conditions such as heavy rains or snow melting too quickly.

There are several things you can do to prevent a sewage backup:

- never flush anything other than waste and toilet paper down the toilet

- don't pour grease or cooking oil down the kitchen sink; instead, pour it into a container and dispose of it in the trash

- don't try to unclog a drain with a plunger or chemical drain cleaner; call a plumber instead

- keep trees away from the sewer line; their roots can grow into cracks or breaks in the line and cause a blockage

- if you live in an area prone to severe weather, have your sewer line inspected regularly to make sure it is in good condition and not susceptible to damage from flooding or freezing temperatures

If you do experience a sewage backup, call a professional plumber immediately. Sewage is considered hazardous material and should be cleaned up by trained professionals. In the meantime, stay away from the area and do not try to clean it yourself.

This was my first time with 1-800-Plumber Air of Pearland. I called with a minor issue with the dishwasher drain hose and asked that a tech be dispatched on Saturday so that I could be home from work. Chad was scheduled between 8am & 10am today (Sat) and arrived just before 9am. Chad was very knowledgeable and explained to me the entire process. He also answered my many many questions about what he was doing as he was doing it. I'm a smart guy but know very little about plumbing. I felt very comfortable with Chad doing the repair. The long and the short of it, 1-800-Plumber Air of Pearland has a new longtime customer and I will request that Chad be sent if possible the next time I have a plumbing issue.
