What Causes a Sewage Backup?
An overflowing public sewage system is an obvious source of sewage backup. However, other lesser-known sources can lead to this issue — such as:
- Clogged, leaking, or broken pipes
- Invasive tree roots
- Age of the sewer system
- Rain or local flooding
What Causes a Septic Backup?
A malfunctioning private sewage system on your property could be the root of a septic backup, but other factors can also contribute. These include:
- Garbage disposal problems
- Flushing foreign objects
- Overgrown tree roots
- Heavy rainfall

What to Do If You Experience a Flood from Contaminated Water
The consequences of blocked or overflowing sewer lines can be far-reaching and devastating. When contaminated water overflows from these faulty pipes, it has no choice but to enter residential areas. Contaminated water can quickly wreak havoc on your property, making it important to remain calm and react quickly.
DRYmedic recommends you take the following steps to minimize exposure and reduce further damage:
- Safely turn off your electricity and gas supply.
- Turn off your main water valve.
- Open windows to circulate air.
- If you are having an issue with the septic tank, contact your septic company. Alternatively, if it is a public sewer system problem, reach out to your sewer company.
Once you have taken these steps, call DRYmedic for water damage restoration services right away. Our certified technicians will assess the situation, repair any broken pipes, and use specialized equipment to remove all traces of contaminants from your home.
Property Damage Caused by a Sewer Backup
After a sewer backup, your property may be vulnerable to serious structural harm. Thankfully, DRYmedic is here to help. Some of the most frequent forms of damage caused by a sewage issue include:
Toilet Overflow
A toilet overflow is an inevitable consequence of a damaged sewage system. Cracks and blockages can cause wastewater to violently burst into your home, flooding bathrooms with harmful sewage that may seep and spread throughout other areas in the house.
Basement Flooding
Basements are prevalent in many homes but often face a unique challenge. Due to the generally lower elevation and nearby sewage lines, any pipe issue may become an entry point for hazardous wastewater. As a result, this could easily wreak havoc on furniture, appliances, and even structural components.
Attic Stains
Another common issue caused by sewage backups that homeowners often do not consider is attic stains. When a sewer backup occurs, wastewater often finds its way through the pipes that enter your attic, creating the perfect environment for mold growth. This can lead to black stains on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces. These marks can be difficult to remove, so addressing them immediately is important to minimize their impact and prevent mold growth.
