Sewage Backup? Causes and Solutions

At Messick Plumbing, we understand the distress and inconvenience a sewage backup can cause in your home.

When the Unthinkable Happens, Messick Plumbing Has Your Back

Sewage back-ups are not only unpleasant but can also pose serious health risks and structural damage. When faced with such a crisis, it's crucial to identify the root cause promptly. That's where Messick Plumbing steps in to provide expert diagnosis and effective solutions.

Why Does Sewage Backup Occur?

A variety of issues can cause sewage back-ups, and pinpointing the exact cause requires a professional assessment. Common reasons include:

  1. Clogs and Blockages: Over time, debris, grease, and foreign objects can accumulate in your pipes, leading to blockages and restricting the flow of wastewater.
  2. Tree Roots Intrusion: Tree roots seeking moisture and nutrients can invade sewer lines, causing clogs and even structural damage.
  3. Broken or Cracked Pipes: Aging or damaged sewer pipes can develop cracks or fractures, allowing sewage to leak into the surrounding soil.
  4. Heavy Rainfall and Flooding: Excessive rainwater can overwhelm the sewer system, leading to back-ups, especially if the municipal sewer system is already strained.
  5. Improper Installation: Poorly installed plumbing systems may be more prone to back-ups and other issues.
