What it is
Sewage backup A sewage backup is sewage rising up into a tub, floor drain, toilet, or basement because the main sewer line is blocked and wastewater has nowhere else to go.
A Denver homeowner should stop using every fixture in the house right away and keep people and pets away from the contaminated area, because it is a health hazard and running more water anywhere in the building makes it worse.
Why sewage comes up instead of going down
Backups into the lowest fixtures mean the main sewer line is blocked, not a single trap. Everything the house drains has nowhere to go, so it takes the lowest opening it can find. Running more water anywhere in the building makes it worse, immediately.
- Stop using every fixture in the house, including the washing machine
- Keep children and pets out of the contaminated area entirely
- Ventilate the space if you can do it without walking through the water
- Do not pour drain chemicals into a line that is already backed up
Signs the main line is the problem
- Sewage rising in a basement floor drain or shower
- Toilets bubbling when the washing machine drains
- Multiple fixtures backing up at the same time
- Sewer odor in the lowest level of the house
- Water pooling around a cleanout in the yard
What sewage backup response includes
- Mainline clearing through the cleanout to restore flow
- Camera inspection of the cleared line to identify the cause
- Root cutting when intrusion is the blockage
- Hydro jetting when grease or scale has coated the pipe
- A written recommendation with video evidence, not a verbal upsell
- Referral for excavation-scale replacement when the line has failed structurally
