Causes of Sewer Drain Backups
Several factors can contribute to backed-up sewer drains, including:
- Tree root intrusion

Steps to Fix a Backed Up Sewer Drain
If you experience a backed-up sewer drain, follow these steps:
- Locate the source: Check all drains and toilets in your home to identify the affected area.
- Use a drain cleaner: Pour a commercial drain cleaner into the affected drain and allow it to work according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

- Call a professional: If the above methods fail, it’s recommended to contact a sewage cleanup service for professional assistance.
