  2. Sewer backups are officially the most commonly reported infrastructural problems that affect a property. According to an article from the Globe and Mail, water has become the main cause of home insurance claims in recent years. Because of this, home insurance providers have adjusted their policies accordingly, either by raising insurance deductibles or cutting down on insurance coverage for sewer line backups.

  3. What Causes Sewer Backup in Your House? Before we discuss how to fix a sewer backup problem, it is critical to learn about the causes of a sewer backup in general. There are many factors that affect the performance of your property’s sewer lines and eventually lead to a sewer backup.

  4. Old Sewage Systems Although most sewage systems are made with the intent to last a very long time, many sewer lines start to deteriorate much earlier than expected. So if your sewer lines have been installed for a few decades, you may expect sewer line backups on a more regular basis.

  5. Sewer Blockage Sewer blockages are clogs in sewage pipes that are caused by items that are incorrectly flushed down the drain. Some of these items include: – Fats, oils, and cooking grease which cool and harden inside sewer lines – Wipes that do not break down and accumulate in sewer pipes – Hygiene products like sanitary pads, dental floss, etc.

  6. Tree Roots Roots from nearby trees will inevitably expand and often grow into sewer lines, perforating them and causing your sewers to not drain properly.

  7. Heavy Rain Every sewer line has a draining capacity that it can handle. However, when rainwater is so heavy that sewage pipes can no longer keep up, sewer backups will happen.

  8. How Can I Prevent Sewer Backups? It only makes sense to eliminate sewer damage causes in order to prevent sewage backups. In order to do this, here are some helpful tips you can follow:

  9. Dispose of fats and greases properly by freezing and throwing them in the trash. You can also dispose of them at fat and grease recycling stations around your city for free. Cut tree roots on a regular basis so that they are no longer a threat to your sewer lines.

  10. Install a backwater valve to ensure municipal sewage water does not find its way into your basement. Properly dispose of hygiene products in the garbage bin and do not flush them down the toilet.

  11. Have a reliable sewer pipe maintenance plan that includes a periodical camera inspection and cleaning of your sewer lines. Replace old sewer pipes in order to reverse signs of aging in your sewer pipes. Consult a licensed plumber to help you understand exactly what to do in the event your property faces a sewage problem.
