Backup in a basement. Blocked sewer service line.
Sewer (drain) backup
The most common cause of sewer backup is a blockage of the sanitary service piping between the home and the City's sewer main.
Blockages in sewers can be caused by problems with the sewer service line. From our plumbers' experience, soil settlement,
misaligned joints, roots infiltration or pipes collapses are fairly common causes of blockages.
Sewer blockages can also be caused by items such as cooking grease, rags, or pieces of solid debris that have been flushed down a household drain.
If you have a sewer blockage, your floor drain will usually provide evidence a problem is occurring within your sewer system.
The sewage discharge will generally rise within the piping system and discharge may appear around the floor drain.
You can control the degree or amount of backup by not using your plumbing fixtures until you have the sewers checked by a plumber or a drain cleaning company.
Blocked by roots pipe
Shrubs and trees, seeking moisture, will make their way into sewer lateral cracks.
These roots can do a lot of damage. They may start out small, getting into a small
crack in the pipe; but as the tree or shrub continues to grow, so does the root.
This obviously, after time goes on, causes your sewer lateral to break, which in
turn allows debris to hang up in the sewer lateral, thus causing a backup.
Please be careful about planting greenery around you sewer lateral.
Read more information about roots in a sewer line and City Program to keep our city clean and full of trees.
How to clean after backups.

Prevent backups - plumbers' tips
Avoid putting inappropriate objects into
your plumbing system through toilets or
drains.
Make sure downspouts extend at least
1.8 metres (6 feet) from your basement
wall. Also, be sure the water does not drain
toward your neighbours basement walls. It
should drain away from your house toward
the street, rear yard, or back lane.
Build up the ground around your house so
that water drains away from your basement
walls. Also, examine sidewalks, patios,
decks and driveways. These can settle over
time and cause water to drain back towards
your basement walls.
Provide sewer service line maintenance from time to time.
Call the plumber with CCTV and check roots, blocked pipes or misaligned joints.
You will see all the details of sewer service line condition on the color screen.
Small blockages can be fixed by Drain Snaking.
And you can prevent big damages for your basement just by snaking clogged part.
Keep floor drain clean and easy to reach. Don't cover it by concrete slab or tiles, or carpet.
Check the smell coming out from floor drain. If you fill sewer smell we recommend you to check condition of your sewer line.
Clear water in a floor drain (in a trap) prevents any smell from sewer line.
