In any case, it's important that the City check out the sewer main after any sewer backup. If the backup occurs or continues when you are not using water, there may be a blockage in the public main. If the backup only happens when you use water and it slowly drains when you stop using water, the problem is most likely in your lateral. If the problem is caused by your sewer lateral or by some other problem on your property, the repair will be your responsibility. The City will relieve all blockages that are found in the public sewer main.
