Emergency Sewer Backup Clearing in Metro Detroit

24/7 emergency sewer backup clearing and restoration service for residential and commercial properties across Metro Detroit, Michigan.

A sewer backup is one of the most stressful plumbing emergencies a homeowner or property manager can face. Raw sewage backing up into a basement, laundry room, or floor drain creates health hazards, property damage, and serious disruption to daily life. Detroit Sewer Co. responds to sewer backup emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across Metro Detroit, with the heavy-duty equipment needed to clear the blockage fast and identify what caused it.

When we arrive at a backup call, our first priority is diagnosing the source: is it a root mass in the lateral, a grease accumulation in the main, a collapsed pipe section, or a problem in the city sewer main? We use high-capacity jetting equipment and, when needed, our video camera to locate the blockage precisely before we start clearing. This prevents unnecessary work and gets you an accurate answer about what happened and what comes next.

We have cleared severe backups in some of the toughest conditions Metro Detroit sewer systems can produce: 1,800-foot commercial sewer runs serving warehouses and plazas, residential laterals packed solid with roots, and multi-unit apartment buildings where a single trunk line failure affects dozens of units simultaneously. When the problem turns out to involve city infrastructure rather than your private line, we provide detailed documentation to support your service request with the municipality.

Serving Detroit, Dearborn, Livonia, Warren, Southfield, Royal Oak, Troy, and all of Metro Detroit. Do not wait on a sewer backup: the longer wastewater sits, the greater the risk of damage and contamination to your property.
