Description

I suspect there is a sewer blockage on my property. During the rain today, I noticed one of my gutter drains was backed up at the ground level as water was overflowing out of the drain pipe that goes into the ground. I stuck my hand in to try and remove the blockage, and about two feet down I pulled out a handful of what looked like, and smelled like, sewage. I'm concerned that sewage is blocked and may soon be coming back into my home. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
