Signs of a Sewer Backup

How We Fix Sewer Backups

Step 1: Emergency Containment

We first stop the immediate overflow to prevent further property damage or health risks.

Step 2: Sewer Camera Inspection

Using a high-resolution drain camera, we inspect your entire sewer line to find the exact location and cause of the backup.

Step 3: Professional Clearing & Repair

Depending on the issue, we’ll use augers, hydro-jetting, or root-cutting tools to clear the blockage. If the pipe is broken or collapsed, we’ll show you exactly where and provide a clear repair or replacement recommendation.

Step 4: Prevention

We may recommend a backwater valve or cleanout access to prevent future backups — especially in backup-prone areas of Hamilton.

If you’re not sure it’s an emergency — call us anyway. We’ll let you know if it can wait, or if we need to come right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a sewer backup dangerous?

Yes — raw sewage poses serious health risks and property damage. Call a licensed plumber immediately if you suspect a backup.

Can I fix a sewer backup myself?

It’s not recommended. DIY attempts can make the issue worse or expose you to contamination. A professional can safely diagnose and clear it.

What if the backup keeps happening?

We’ll identify the root cause (no pun intended) — whether it’s tree roots, poor drainage, or aging pipes — and recommend long-term solutions.

Is this covered by insurance?

Some homeowner policies cover sewer backups. We can provide documentation for your claim and install a backwater valve to help you qualify in the future.
