Basement drain backing up when it pours?

Why it happens in Telford

Telford Borough's use and occupancy inspection checklist asks whether the sewer vent, cleanout and trap are installed without defects that would let surface water in, and whether roof drains are connected to the sanitary sewer. The Sellersville station nearby averages about 52 inches a year.

What to try, and when to call us

A downspout tied into the sewer or a cracked cleanout cap floods the line in a storm, and the basement drain is where it shows up. A plumber can find and fix both.

What to Do While You Wait in Telford

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

  • Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
  • Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
  • If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
  • Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
