Here’s What to Do Immediately
If you’re dealing with a sewer backup in your home or business, time matters. A sewer backup can quickly turn into a health hazard, cause structural damage, and lead to costly repairs if not handled properly.
At Econo Sewer & Drain, we specialize in emergency sewer backup services throughout Southeast Wisconsin and Northeast Illinois. Here’s what you need to know.
What Causes a Sewer Backup?
Common causes include:
- Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
- Grease buildup in drain pipes
- Collapsed or cracked sewer lines
- Aging infrastructure
- Heavy rainfall overwhelming municipal systems
If multiple drains are backing up at once, this is usually a main sewer line issue — not just a clogged sink.
What to Do Immediately
- Stop using water in your home
- Avoid flushing toilets
- Turn off appliances that use water
- Call a professional sewer and drain company immediately
Waiting can worsen damage and increase cleanup costs.
Why Professional Sewer Cleaning Matters
DIY drain cleaners won’t fix a main sewer line blockage. Professional hydro jetting and camera inspections identify and clear the true source of the problem.
Econo Sewer & Drain uses:
- High-pressure hydro jetting
- Televised sewer inspections
- Underground pipe locating
- We resolve most issues the first time.
- 24/7 Emergency Sewer Service
Sewer problems don’t wait for business hours. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency sewer cleaning services.
