Sewer backups can occur for several reasons. Identifying the root cause is the first step in resolving the issue. Here are the most common causes of sewer blockages:
Foreign Objects in the Drain
Items like diapers, hygiene products, plastic wrappers, or toys can block your drainage system, leading to backups.
Tree Root Intrusions
Tree roots can infiltrate your sewer lines, causing cracks, blockages, and even collapsed pipelines.
Aging or Damaged Sewer Pipes
Over time, pipes can deteriorate, become misaligned, or collapse entirely. Cracks and fractures in old pipes are common culprits.
Grease and Debris Build-up
Kitchen grease, soap residue, and other debris can accumulate in your pipes, restricting the flow of wastewater.
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait—call PHD Plumbing immediately at 705-627-5725..
When you’re dealing with a drain backup, taking the right steps can prevent further damage to your home:
Stop Using Water
Shut off the water supply and avoid using any plumbing fixtures, including sinks, toilets, washing machines, and dishwashers.
Turn Off Electricity if Necessary
If water or sewage is near electrical outlets, turn off the power to your home to avoid potential hazards.
Keep Family and Pets Away
Sewage backups can carry harmful bacteria and viruses. Ensure everyone stays clear of contaminated areas.

Testimonials
Posted on Greg WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our sump pump & battery backup system failed last night at 1000pm After bailing water to prevent water damage to our basement for a 1/2 hour my spouse was able to find a 24/7 service company that will send an after hours technician to our residence I was surprised that companies that advertise 24/7 service when called will only schedule the service call for the next day PHD Plumbing took our after hours call and sent a technician within the hour Brandon arrived on site & replaced our sump pump I can not thank him enough for his excellent service & professional installation Not to mention the fact that if Brandon didn't show up last night our basement would have been flooded leaving us with a much bigger issue and associated cost Lastly, I would say that I was pleasantly surprised with the fair pricing for the work completed I would highly recommend PHD Plumbing for anyone needing future plumbing service or installationPosted on Caroline DownesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
