What is your drain doing?
The symptoms can help narrow down where a blockage may be. These are clues, not a diagnosis—the same symptom can have different causes.
Bathtub or shower backing up in a home without a basement
A blocked main drain or sewer line can force wastewater into a low fixture such as a tub or shower. Avoid flushing or running water until the backup is addressed.
Bathtub and shower sewer backups →Several fixtures are slow or backing up together
When sinks, toilets, tubs, or floor drains are affected at the same time, the restriction may be in a shared branch or the main drain rather than one fixture.
Main drain cleaning →Washing machine drains and water spills onto the floor
The washer releases water quickly, which can expose a restriction in the laundry drain or a shared line farther downstream.
Laundry and washing machine drain help →One sink, tub, or shower drains slowly
A single slow fixture often points to buildup close to that drain. If several fixtures are affected, the problem may be farther down the system.
Kitchen and bathroom drains →The same sewer line keeps plugging up
Repeated blockages can be caused by roots, buildup, or a damaged pipe. Clearing the line opens the path, but recurring problems may need further investigation.
