A common cause of a sewer backup is a blockage in the pipe that runs between your home and the city’s main sewer line. Blockages in sewers can be caused by root intrusion, non-dissolvable items like baby wipes or female products.Other causes of backups can be grease, or cast iron build up in the line.The sewer pipe that runs from your home to the property line is owned and maintained by the homeowner.
Many people are in the habit of pouring grease and oil down the drain, if you are one of them please, stop! Fatty liquids will cool and coagulate in your pipes and eventually become too dense to be pushed through by water. Hardened grease and oil can constrict your pipes, making it difficult for waste particles to move through.
