### How to Fix a Backed Up Sewer Drain
A backed-up sewer drain is an immediate concern. Here’s a step-by-step guide to resolving the issue:
1. **Locate the Source:** Check all drains in your home, including sinks, showers, and toilets. The affected drain will be unable to drain water properly.
2. **Call a Professional:** It’s highly recommended to call a licensed plumber or sewage cleanup service for professional assistance in resolving severe backups.
3. **Attempt a Plunge:** For small blockages in floor drains, try plunging them vigorously to dislodge the clog.
4. **Use a Drain Snake:** If plunging doesn’t work, a drain snake can be used to physically clear the blockage. Carefully insert the snake into the drain and rotate it until it encounters the obstruction.
5. **Chemical Drain Cleaners:** As a last resort, chemical drain cleaners can be used to dissolve clogs. However, they should be used with caution and never poured into standing water.
