Stop using all water in the home — do not run faucets, flush toilets, or use appliances that drain. Call a licensed plumber immediately. If sewage is visible in the basement, avoid contact and call for cleanup assistance along with the plumber.

During heavy rain, the city sewer system can become overwhelmed and surcharge — pushing water back through the lowest drains in your home. This is a common problem in older Chicagoland neighborhoods. Flood control systems like backwater valves and overhead sewers prevent this.

We use professional drain rodding to break up and remove the primary blockage, followed by hydro jetting to thoroughly clean the pipe walls. A video camera inspection after clearing confirms the line is fully open and identifies any structural issues.

Repeated sewage backups can cause pipe erosion and accelerate deterioration of older clay and cast iron sewer lines. They also create health hazards from sewage exposure. Addressing the root cause prevents future incidents and protects your home.
