I recently went to a customer's home that spent a lot of money renovating his basement to rent the space for extra income. He gave me a call because his sewer backed up and damaged a lot of the new carpet and tile he had placed on the floor.
Here are a few signs that will let you know your sewer is starting to back up. (Sometimes you can catch it before it damages your property.)
1. If there is a toilet in the basement the toilet may not flush properly. It may gurgle, drain slow or may over flow.
2. When you do laundry, your floor drain typically backs up. You may see water come out of this drain while washing. (The floor drain is located near the furnace or near the washer and dryer hook ups on the floor)
3. If you take a shower or run water in the tub or flush the toilet (on the main level of the home) you may see toilet paper or clear water come out of the floor drain in the basement.
