  • While sewer backups are often caused by blockages in the city or county's main system, they can also occur due to a clogged drain or damaged sewer line near your home. But how do you know if it’s a problem with the main system or an issue in your own plumbing?

    Here are some of the most common sewer backup signs:

    • Multiple Clogged Drains – If more than one drain in your home is slow or clogged, this could be a sign of a sewer backup.
    • Unusual Noises – Gurgling sounds coming from your drains or toilets can indicate a problem in the sewer line.
    • Bad Smell – A persistent foul smell coming from your drains could be due to a sewer backup.
    • Water Backflow – If water backs up into sinks, bathtubs, or toilets when appliances or fixtures are used, it could be a sign of a sewer backup.
    • Sewage in Floor Drains – If you notice sewage or wastewater coming up through floor drains, this is a clear sign of a sewer backup.
    • Lush Patches in the Lawn – If there are unusually lush or green patches in your yard, it might be due to a leak in the sewer line.
    • Wet Spots in Yard – Unexplained wet spots or standing water in your yard could also indicate a sewer backup.

    If you're uncertain about the source of your sewer backup, trust in the experienced team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southern Fairfield County. We're skilled in diagnosing and swiftly repairing all types of sewer issues.

Understand Common Causes of Sewage Overflows

Knowing what is behind your sewer system backup and mess is a great way to help keep it from happening again. The most common causes of sewer backups include:

  • Tree root infiltration – Tree roots can enter and block your sewer lines.
  • Structural defects – Breaks or collapses in the line can result in backups.
  • Grease buildup – Grease from kitchen drains can solidify and cause blockages.
  • Foreign objects – Improperly flushed items can obstruct your sewer line.
  • Heavy rainfall or flooding – Excessive water can overwhelm the sewer system.
  • Aging sewer systems – Old, deteriorated lines can fail, causing backups.

Unsure of what's behind yours? No worries – our professional team can detect your issue’s source and provide lasting solutions that protect your home from future backups and property damage.
