- Structural Drying & Dehumidification – Moisture trapped in walls, flooring, and insulation can lead to mold growth and structural damage. We deploy industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to ensure your basement is completely dry.
- Waterproofing & Future Prevention – To protect your basement from future sewage backups, we install sump pumps, backwater valves, and interior & exterior drainage systems. By waterproofing your foundation, you can prevent future sewage backups from happening again.
What Causes Basement Sewage Backups?
Common Causes of Basement Sewage Backups & Flooding
Basement sewage backups often result from blocked sewer lines, tree roots, or heavy rain, leading to contaminated water, foul odors, and costly damage. Homes with older plumbing or poor drainage are especially vulnerable.
Top Causes of Basement Sewage Backups & Flooding
- Clogged Sewer Drains – A leading cause of basement sewage flooding, caused by grease buildup, hair, wipes, or debris blocking water flow.
- Tree Root Intrusion – Tree roots invade sewer pipes, causing cracks, blockages, and backups.
- Heavy Rain & Overloaded Sewer Systems – Excess stormwater can overwhelm sewer lines, leading to emergency basement sewage backups. Without a well-installed sump pump system, basements can be flooded.
- Broken or Collapsed Sewer Pipes – Older clay or cast-iron pipes crack over time, causing sewage to back up into basement drains.
- Faulty or Missing Backwater Valves – Without a working backwater valve, city sewer overflows can send wastewater back into your home.
- Hydrostatic Pressure & Poor Drainage – Groundwater pressure forces water through basement walls, leading to sewage backup through basement floor drains.
Early warning signs include slow drains, foul odors, and toilet backups. Call our 24/7 basement waterproofing contractor team before the problem worsens.
