What Should I Do During a Sewer Backup?
Stop using all water right away. Each flush, shower or load of laundry sends more water into a line that cannot drain, and it will come up at the lowest drain.
- Stop flushing and running water.
- Keep kids and pets away from the wastewater.
- Do not try to clean raw sewage without gloves and protection.
- If you have an outdoor cleanout, a plumber may use it to relieve the pressure.
- Call a plumber to clear the line.

Call (512) 894-6911What Causes Sewer Backups in Round Rock?
Most backups come from buildup, roots or a damaged pipe.
- Grease and wipes that collect in the line
- Tree roots entering through joints in older pipes
- Shifting clay soil that can crack pipes or create sags
- Hard water scale that narrows pipes and traps debris
- City sewer problems, which are less common but possible
How Do Plumbers Clear a Main Line?
The plumber clears the clog first, then finds out why it happened.
- Machine auger to open the line
- Camera inspection to see roots, cracks or sags
- Hydro jetting to clean grease, scale and roots from the pipe walls
- Repair or replacement if the pipe is broken
Ask for a camera inspection if backups keep coming back.
Ask a local pro about a sewer camera inspection.
