City sewers carry waste from many homes through shared mains. When rain overloads a main or a blockage stops it, sewage looks for the lowest drains, and basements and ground-floor bathrooms take it first. Some older cities use combined pipes that carry sewage and stormwater together, and those can overflow in heavy rain.
A camera inspection shows the plumber what is wrong inside the pipe. A moisture meter shows the crew what is wrong inside the house. Each trade reads its own evidence.
