A common cause could be damage to the outside drainage pipes. This is often the result of tree roots growing into the pipes. A full septic tank is also a common problem.

1. A stopped up drainage pipe. 2. Tree roots in a sewer pipe or water pipe, blocking it. 3. Cracked foundation, causing a water leak.
