una alcantarilla obstruida [atascado] might convey the idea.
Nope, just a blocked sewer, no back-up.
drenaje=drain
cloaca=sanitary sewer/combination sewer
un alcantarillado sanitario obstruido
I am assuming that you mean a sanitary sewer? Like when your sewer backs up and floods your basement?
backed-up
= atorado
Ex: Water can enter computer rooms from numerous sources: air conditioners; roof, floor, and wall leaks; backed-up floor drains; and fire sprinklers.

A blocked sewer, I would say : Una coladera tapada.
