Warning Signs of Sewer Damage
These systems remain safely underground until these warning signs demand sewer line repair:
Extreme odor is coming from the yard or basement due to sewage that is not able to travel to the main sewer lines
- Drains in bathroom sinks and bathtub drain slowly or not at all
- Sewage is found backing up in your bathtub or toilet
- There isn’t water in the toilet bowls
- Flooding in areas around sewage lines from leaking pipe joints
What To Do if Your Basement Drain is Backing Up
Dealing with a sewer backup in the basement can be an overwhelming and unpleasant experience. But, there are some steps you can take to fix the issue. Here are some things to try:
Turn off the water supply to your home: This will prevent any more water from flowing into the sewer line.
- Determine the cause of the backup: Common causes include tree roots, grease buildup, and broken pipes. If you can't identify the cause, it's best to contact a qualified plumber.
- Attempt to clear the blockage: You can try using a plunger or drain snake to clear the blockage. If this doesn't work, avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your pipes.
- Call a qualified plumber: If the backup persists, or you're unsure of what to do, it's best to call a qualified plumber. They have the expertise and equipment to quickly diagnose and resolve the issue, while also ensuring that the repair is done safely.
Remember, dealing with a sewer backup can be hazardous and requires specialized knowledge and equipment. If you're unsure of what to do or feel uncomfortable attempting the fix yourself, it's best to contact a qualified plumber like A-Team Plumbing. We can help you resolve the issue and get your home back to normal as quickly and safely as possible.

Manny and his team showed up within 45 mins after placing a call. They tried to locate my septic tank but needed to return the next morning with larger equipment, they found my tank after digging and determine it had failed(over 60 years old). We agreed on a price to hook up to Sewers once CBYD and permits were done work
