Best Sewage Backup Pros in Franklin
#1Strong Hire
Prodigy Sewer & Drain
4.8Sewage Backup: 90/100
“Mark at Prodigy Sewer & Drain was a joy to work with. Not only was he helpful in diagnosing my problem, he had technology readily available to provide multiple options in how to attack the issue. If someone had a need for diagnosis, descaling, hydro-jetting, or pipe lining, I doubt there's anyone better to work with in Middle TN.”
#2Strong Hire
X-Stream Drain & Excavating
5Sewage Backup: 75/100
“He completely rebuilt the pipes in my kitchen and replaced a large section of the main drainage system in the crawl space beneath the kitchen. He did all of this at night, in 30-degree weather, and never complained once.”
#3Caution

“today a couple of weeks later on Christmas day, the piping comes loose and flood the kitchen. We called the facility that states they are 24/7 and are told that they cannot get to us until Tuesday”

Common Sewage Backup Scenarios
Stop Using All Water
Every flush and drain use adds to the backup. Stop all water usage in the house immediately until the blockage is cleared.
Avoid Contact
Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Don't wade through it or touch it without protective gear. Keep children and pets away.
Ventilate the Area
Open windows and doors near the affected area. Sewage gases (methane, hydrogen sulfide) are hazardous in enclosed spaces.
Call a Plumber Immediately
Sewage backup is a true emergency. Most emergency plumbers can respond within 30-60 minutes. Do NOT attempt to clear a main sewer line yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes sewage to back up?
Common causes: main sewer line clog (tree roots, grease, debris), collapsed or bellied sewer pipe, city sewer main backup, or heavy rainfall overwhelming combined sewer systems. In Franklin, tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes.
Is sewage backup dangerous?
Yes — raw sewage is a serious health hazard containing bacteria (E. coli, salmonella), viruses, and parasites. Do not touch sewage without protective gear. After cleanup, the area needs professional sanitization to prevent illness and mold.
How much does sewage backup repair cost in Franklin?
Emergency sewer line clearing: $200-$800. If the backup revealed a broken or collapsed sewer line, repair costs $1,500-$10,000+ depending on the method and extent. Professional cleanup and sanitization adds $1,000-$5,000 for significant backups.
Does insurance cover sewage backup in TN?
Standard homeowners insurance in TN typically does NOT cover sewer backup damage. You need a separate sewer backup endorsement ($40-$100/year). If you don't have it, you'll pay for cleanup and repair out of pocket. Check your policy now — before the next incident.
