What Causes Sewer Backups?

Sewer backups can be caused by any number of things, including:

• Clogs: A clogged sewer line will prevent wastewater from flowing to the local sewer system, causing sewage to back up into your home. These clogs can be caused by anything from toilet paper and hair to foreign objects.
• Tree root infiltration: Tree roots grow into cracked or vulnerable sewer lines, creating a blockage and causing a sewage backup.
• Damaged sewer lines: When sewer lines are sagging, cracked, broken, or misaligned, clogs can easily occur. These problems are most likely to happen as sewer lines age.
• Heavy rains and floods: City sewage lines can be inundated with water when it rains. When these lines simply can’t take in more water, sewage can start backing up in homes.

For sewage backups caused by any problems at the main underground sewer pipe, which typically is located beyond the homeowner’s property boundaries, the City will be responsible for handling the repairs.

In all other cases, however, it’s usually the homeowner’s responsibility to fix sewer line problems and backups. The good news is that homeowners insurance may cover damage caused by a sewer line backup.

How to Prevent Sewer Line Backups in Laurel, MD Homes

No homeowner ever wants to deal with a sewer backup. To minimize the risk of sewer line clogs and backups, follow these prevention tips:

• Properly dispose of waste: Make sure paper products, debris, and foreign objects don’t enter your drains.
• Replace your old sewer lines before they fail: Sewer lines that are more than 25 years old or that are clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg are highly susceptible to failing. Replacing these types of sewer lines now, before a sewer break, can save you a lot of money and headaches in the future.
• Install a backwater valve: This backflow prevention device can stop outbound water from flowing back into a home.
• Properly maintain your plumbing system: Routine drain cleaning can prevent clogs, and other plumbing maintenance services can catch minor issues before they snowball and lead to a sewer backup.

Every Corner of Laurel & Nearby

You might live in a historic brick rowhouse near Main Street or a newer townhome off Konterra Drive. Either way, our crews know the quirks of every neighborhood’s infrastructure because we drive the same roads daily.

Old Town Laurel & Historic District
Stone‑lined sewers dating back a century still run beneath the shops on Main Street, so blockages often collect at brittle joints.

Montpelier & Laurel Lakes
Homes built in the 1960s and 1980s here frequently use cast‑iron laterals that corrode from the inside out. We stock replacement sections sized for these original pipes.

Russett & Maryland City
This planned community sits between the Baltimore–Washington Parkway and Route 198, and many properties have long lateral runs that settle in the region’s sandy loam. Annual camera inspections help spot bellies before they break.

West Laurel & Scaggsville
Large, wooded lots mean tree roots are a recurring threat. We use cutting bits designed for mature oaks and maples to clear lines quickly.

North Laurel & Savage‑Guilford
Bordering Howard County’s Sustainable Community zone, these neighborhoods feature a mix of modern PVC and older Orangeburg lines. We tailor repairs to each block’s unique mix of materials.

Twin Oaks, Walden Woods & Whiskey Bottom
These enclaves off Route 1 share a shallow sewer main that can back up during heavy summer storms. We maintain special pumping gear to keep your home dry.

Beltsville & Muirkirk
Just south of Laurel, these communities surround the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. The clay soil expands and contracts with seasonal moisture, stressing older terra‑cotta laterals. We install flexible liner sleeves that move with the ground instead of cracking.

Konterra & Vansville Heights
New construction is surging at the planned Konterra Town Center. While these homes feature modern PVC sewers, heavy equipment can crush pipes before the final grading is done. We coordinate with builders to perform post‑construction inspections so you avoid warranty surprises.

Patuxent Research Refuge Perimeter
Properties skirting the refuge enjoy mature trees and wildlife, but invasive roots seek out moisture year‑round. We use eco‑friendly foaming root inhibitors to prevent regrowth without harming the wetlands.

South Laurel & Kiwanis Field Area
Dense clusters of mid‑century ranch homes here share a municipal line that runs parallel to Cherry Lane. Because the pipe’s shallow slope slows flow, fats and grease build up quickly. Our team schedules maintenance jetting before neighborhood block parties to keep everything moving.

Regional Corridors We Cover

• U.S. Route 1 (Baltimore Avenue) from Beltsville to Elkridge
• I‑95 exits 31A‑33
• MD 198 through Burtonsville and Laurel
• Baltimore–Washington Parkway between College Park and Hanover

Because we live and work here, we arrive quickly—even during Beltway traffic snarls—and we never charge extra for crossing county lines.
