Reference: Backup

Reference information:
Esse "backup" é quando o esgoto "sobe de volta" (back + up) para a residência, em vez de descer pela tubulação e ir embora. Normalmente isso ocorre por conta de enchentes:

While floods are probably best known for causing extensive water damage to homes and businesses, they can also cause sewage from sanitary sewer lines to back up into houses through drain pipes. These backups not only cause damage that is difficult and expensive to repair, but also create health hazards.
