Signs your sewer line might be clogged

Recognizing the early warning signs can help you call for professional help before a disastrous backup occurs.

- Multiple Drains Are Clogged: If your toilet, shower, and sink are all draining slowly or are backed up at the same time, the problem is likely in the main sewer line.
- Water Backing Up in Unusual Places: Flushing a toilet and seeing water come up in the bathtub or shower drain is a classic sign of a main line clog.
- Gurgling Sounds from Drains: If you hear gurgling noises from multiple fixtures. it is a clear sign something is wrong.
- Foul Odors from Drains: A constant smell of sewage from your drains indicates that waste is not being carried away from your home properly.
