How Do Floor Drains Connect to My Home’s Sewer System?
Floor drains typically connect to your home’s sewer system through a drain pipe that leads into the main waste line. Most floor drains include a P-trap and vent to allow water to flow out while preventing sewer gases from entering the home. In some Denver-area homes, garage or basement floor drains may instead route to a sump pit or approved storm drainage system, depending on local plumbing codes and how the home was built.

Who Is Responsible for a Broken Sewer Pipe – The City or the Homeowner?
In most cases, the homeowner is responsible for repairing the sewer pipe that runs from the home to the city’s main sewer line. The city is typically only responsible for the public sewer main itself.
