Sewer system backups occur when wastewater cannot flow properly through the pipes and instead, backs up into your home. This can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
- Clogs and Blockages: Grease, food particles, hair, and other debris can accumulate in your pipes, leading to blockages that prevent proper drainage.
- Tree Roots: Tree roots can infiltrate and damage sewer lines, causing obstructions and potential pipe damage.
- Aging Pipes: Older pipes can deteriorate over time, leading to breaks or collapses that disrupt normal flow.
- Sewer Line Damage: External factors such as construction, heavy traffic, or soil shifts can damage sewer lines and lead to backups.
Understanding the cause of a backup is crucial for addressing the problem effectively and preventing future issues.
