About this service
Sewer Backup Repair for Beaverton homes
Few things empty a house faster than sewage coming up through a floor drain or bathtub. A sewer backup happens when wastewater cannot get out to the public main, so it rises through the lowest drain in the house instead. It is unpleasant, it is unsanitary and it gets worse every time someone flushes a toilet or runs a tap. Our sewer backup repair service is about stopping that quickly and safely.
The first priority is clearing the blockage so wastewater can flow out again. The second is finding out why it happened. A one-time clog from something that should not have been flushed is very different from roots growing into the line or a section that has collapsed. We clear the backup, check the line and tell you plainly which situation you are dealing with.

Warning signs
Signs You Need Sewer Backup Repair
When to call
Call immediately if sewage or dirty water is coming up through any drain. Do not wait to see if it goes down on its own, and do not keep using water while you wait. If the backup is near electrical equipment, such as a furnace, water heater or panel in the basement, stay clear of the water and tell us when you call.
In Washington County, Clean Water Services handles the public main under the street, while the line from your house to that main is yours. When a backup starts at your property, that private line is where we focus.

- Tub filling when you flushWater appearing in the tub after a flush means waste has nowhere to go.
- Sewage smell indoorsA strong odor near drains can mean waste is sitting in a blocked line.
- Every drain slow at onceWhen the whole house drains poorly, the main line is the likely problem.
Questions
Sewer Backup Repair FAQs
Is sewage backup dangerous?
Yes. Raw sewage carries bacteria and viruses. Keep people and pets away from it, wear gloves and boots if you must go near it, and have affected materials cleaned or replaced.
Why did my sewer back up?
Common causes include roots in the line, grease buildup, flushed wipes and a broken or sagging section of pipe. We find the specific cause during the visit.
Can I keep using one bathroom while I wait?
Please do not. All drains in the house feed the same main line, so any water you use adds to the backup.
Will it happen again?
If the cause was a one-time clog, probably not. If roots or a damaged section caused it, it will likely return until the line is repaired, and we explain the options.
