First things first - let's define some terms. A drain is an underground pipe that collects waste water from household fixtures such as sinks, toilets, and showers. A sewer is a larger underground pipe that carries the waste water from multiple drains to a treatment plant. A blocked drain or a blocked sewer occurs when something prevents the flow of water through the pipes, causing water to back up into your home.

Blocked drains or sewers can be caused by a variety of things, including:

• Tree roots that grow into the pipes and block the flow of water
• Buildup of grease, fat, or other materials that shouldn't be put down the drain
• Foreign objects such as toys, wipes, or sanitary products that get flushed down the toilet
• Structural damage to the pipes, such as cracks or collapses
