We Know What Caused Your Dallas Sewer Backup

Our local technicians understand the driving forces behind your backed-up sewer system. Here in Dallas, those “sudden” sewer pipe bursts and raw sewage floods don't actually happen overnight.
They're caused by decades of stress on your home's wastewater pipes. Here are the 4 biggest local villains:
Black Gumbo Clay vs. Your Main Sewer Line
The Dallas Metroplex sits on expansive clay soil called “black gumbo”. It swells with moisture, then shrinks when it's dry. It's why puddles stick around after heavy rain or a January thaw, and why your backyard cracks in July.
Every time your yard swells, it puts 10,000 PSI of pressure on your underground sewer main. When it shrinks, empty pockets form underneath the pipe that cause bellies and collapsed sections.
- Where it's a problem: Homeowners near White Rock Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard have it worse. Groundwater from the lakes keeps your yard permanently damp. Our Lakewood, Richardson, Garland and Rowlett customers see more sewer backup damage than most.
Aging Cast Iron Pipes
Dallas homes built between 1950-1980 have existing cast iron sewer systems that are beyond their expected lifespan. Wastewater acids corrode their internal walls, and shifting soil and tree roots puncture them from the outside.
Many local homes also have existing cast iron main drain pipes- the large pipe in your home that connects all your drainage fixtures to the main. Blockages here force wastewater back up into your home, and breaks cause slab leaks.
- Where it's a problem: Mid-century builds in Plano, Arlington and Irving still have original cast iron plumbing that causes regular sewage damage in homes.
Organic Grease Clogs From Busy Kitchens
Pouring fats, cooking oil and grease ("FOG clogs") down the kitchen sink drain causes immeasurable harm to your entire sewer system. These organic clogs harden and grow dense- over time, they travel down your drain pipe and into your sewer main.
These “home fatbergs” trap debris, tissue paper and waste to form huge smelly masses in underground pipes. They're a major reason for that nasty sewage odor in your sink drains- and for lots of Dallas area blockages.
- Where it's a problem: Nothing says North Texas like home cooking. Heavy oil and grease use in dine-in kitchens is a primary cause of sewer blockage emergencies in Frisco, Flower Mound and McKinney.
Beautiful Trees With Aggressive Root Systems
The Metroplex has one of America's most beautiful mature tree canopies. We're also home to 5 tree species with extremely aggressive root systems: Live oaks, Cedar elms, Pecans, Mexican sycamores and Silver maples.
These species are big problems for fragile sewer pipes in your backyard. Live oak roots will travel up to 50 feet in any direction to feed on the organic nutrients in your sewer main's wastewater supply.
- Where it's a problem: Homes in Dallas's greenbelt areas and large parks. These include houses near Oak Creek Park (Carrollton), the White Rock Creek Greenbelt (Lake Highlands), and near the Bob Jones Preserve (Southlake).

Sewer emergencies don't happen on a schedule. Whether it's 3 am on a random Tuesday or noon on Christmas Day, we're here to solve your crisis.

Fixing Wastewater Backups in Your Dallas Neighborhood
Junius Heights
Vintage homes in Junius Heights are beautiful. Their vintage cast iron pipes aren't. A century of shifting black gumbo clay soil creates empty voids underneath existing sewer lines, causing sags and bellying. Without the proper grading, sewage has nowhere to go but back up into these historic homes. First story floor drains and shower drains are the most common trouble spots.
Deep Ellum
Drainage systems in the converted warehouse lofts and mixed-use apartments in Deep Ellum struggle to keep up with dense urban demand. Sharing a common sewer system with busy restaurants and packed residential condo and apartment buildings creates strain. Sometimes, it's your neighbor's kitchen grease and cooking oil that causes a sewage backup in your home.
Uptown/Oak Lawn
When your neighborhood's named after its tree-lined streets, the primary cause of residential sewer backups is clear. Mature Live oak and Cedar elm tree roots routinely travel 30-50 feet in search of nutrients. Homes built before 1980 in State Thomas and Perry Heights have worn-out cast iron sewer pipes that are no match for these aggressive, hungry root systems.
Why is there sewage backing up into my Dallas house?
There's a blockage in your main sewer line- the underground pipe that carries your wastewater to the Dallas city sewer system. Either there's a physical clog or impediment, or a sag in your pipe stopped the natural flow of wastewater downhill away from your house. A professional sewer camera inspection will show you the precise cause in real time.
What can I do to DIY a wastewater backup in my drains?
Nothing. Sewage is a biohazard that contains bacteria, toxins and pathogens. Don't touch it. Don't try to clean it up. The best things you can do, in order: shut off the water, get everyone out of the house, shut off the power (if there's no sewage near the circuit box), and call a licensed plumber. We're available 24/7 throughout Dallas.
Should I move my personal belongings out of the sewage backup?
No- it's actually much better to keep them in place. Take photos and videos of the damage with your personal items where they are. It will be much easier to get a claim approved. If you move anything, an insurance adjuster may question how your belongings were damaged.
