Basement Floor Drain Backing Up. I wrote a blog post explaining the basics of floor drains over eight years ago and i ve received more comments on that post than any other. The cure for that is simply dumping some clean water into the drain to refill the trap.
Water under pressure can cause the sewer line to back up because it escapes through the lowest point it is the easiest route. A blockage can occur if a portion of the line has broken but generally a blockage is. Avoid pouring grease or fat into your drains.

Therefore the source of the clog may is usually not the basement floor drain itself. A sump full of debris will lead to a floor drain backup. There s water in the basement. Avoid pouring grease or fat into your drains.
