Sewage Backup Causes
- Blocked Sewer Line – Sewage can back up into your property when drain lines or main sewer lines are blocked, causing widespread issues.
- Tree Root Intrusion – Robust tree roots can infiltrate and damage pipes, such as sewer lines, posing a risk of sewage backups.
- Aging Infrastructure – Aging pipes and sewer systems can deteriorate over time, leading to cracks and sewage backups, particularly in older properties.
- Heavy Rainfall – Intense rain can overwhelm storm and sewer lines, resulting in flooding that may enter sewer lines and pose health risks due to contaminated water.
