Sewer Backup

Sewer backup is the overflow or return of wastewater through drains, toilets, or other plumbing fixtures when a sewer line becomes blocked, overwhelmed, or damaged. It can be caused by root intrusion, grease buildup, pipe collapse, heavy rainfall, or municipal system failures, and it often leads to foul odors, property damage, and sanitation hazards. Embodin observes, maps, and indexes instances of Sewer Backup across the physical world, helping users explore locations, patterns, concentrations, regional comparisons, and changes over time. This makes it easier to understand where sewer backup occurs and how conditions vary across neighborhoods, cities, and regions.
