Sewer Backup Services
Sewer Backup Services in Hamilton
Respond to sewage backing up into basements, clear the line and identify the cause.
Sewage backing up into your home is unpleasant and a genuine health concern. It usually shows up first at the lowest drain — often a basement floor drain or lower-level toilet.
We clear the blockage to restore flow, then help determine whether the cause is inside your property, in the lateral line to the street, or related to a municipal sewer issue.
Common signs
- Wastewater coming up through a basement floor drain

- Multiple drains backing up at the same time

FAQs
Sewer Backup Services questions
Is sewer backup water dangerous?
Yes. Sewage can carry bacteria and other contaminants. Avoid contact, keep children and pets away, and don't use the affected drains until the line is cleared.
Who is responsible — me or the city?
Generally, property owners are responsible for the sewer lateral on their property, while the city handles the main. A camera inspection helps identify where the problem lies.
