What to Do When a Drain Backs Up

One drain, or all of them

A single slow sink is usually a local clog in that fixture. When the tub, the toilet, and the sink all back up at once, the problem is the main line that carries everything out, and that is a different job.

Stop making it worse

Stop running water into a backed-up drain, and skip the store-bought chemicals on a full main line. They rarely clear a real blockage and they make the eventual repair harder and messier.

When to call

A main line backing up needs a camera to find the cause and a proper cleanout to clear it. We handle drain and sewer work seven days a week at (720) 740-0909.
