It could be a clog in the sewer line. If so that's the city's responsibility.


Thanks.

What would you recommend? Contacting the city first or have them come out and look at it first?

I would find your main line clean out. It’s going to be a PVC cap sticking out of the ground somewhere between your house and the road most likely. Open it. If it’s filled up with water, the blockage is distal to that. If not, it’s between there and your house. You may have additional clean outs that might be helpful if the clog is towards the house. You can try to snake it based off that. I was recently charged $400 for a similar issue where they used a water jet. All they are are glorified pressure washers with a long high pressure hose.
