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.
Running a drain machine through the sewer pipe does not take sewage out of the carpet. The crew pumps, cuts out and disinfects while the plumber works on the cause.
