A sewer backup is caused by an obstruction in a sewer pipe. This results in wastewater BACKING UP in the pipe, causing toilets, household drains or sewer manholes to overflow. The majority of sewer backup problems that occur are residential. Three common culprits that cause backups are grease, roots, and rags. If you have determined that there is a backup in the sewer line, you can report it to the twenty-four hour Water Emergency Dispatch Office at 857-8250.
