### Sewage Backup Causes and Effects

Various factors can contribute to sewage backups:

* **Clogged Drains:** Accumulation of debris, hair, or grease can block drainage pipes, causing water to back up.
* **Tree Roots:** Roots can penetrate sewer lines, causing cracks and obstructions.
* **Pipe Damage:** Broken or leaking pipes can allow wastewater to escape and accumulate.
* **Heavy Rainfall:** Excessive water runoff can overwhelm sewer systems, resulting in backups.
* **Grease Buildup:** Fatty substances can solidify and adhere to pipes, restricting flow.

Sewage backups can have detrimental effects on your property and health:

* **Water Damage:** Overflowing sewage can damage floors, walls, and furniture.
* **Contamination:** Harmful bacteria and pathogens present in sewage can pose serious health risks.
* **Structural Issues:** Extended water exposure can weaken foundations and structural elements.
* **Unpleasant Odors:** Sewage backups emit foul odors that can permeate the air.

### Why is Sewage Coming Up in My Shower?

A sewage backup in your shower can be caused by:

* **Clogged Drain:** Hair, soap scum, and other debris can clog the drainpipe.
* **Vent Blockage:** Blocked roof or plumbing vents can prevent proper ventilation and cause pressure buildup in the sewer lines.
* **Partially Clogged Line:** A partially blocked mainline sewer pipe can lead to slow draining and eventual backup.
* **Septic Tank Issues:** A septic tank that is too full or not functioning properly can cause sewage to back up into the house.
