How can I tell if my sewer line is clogged at home?

Most whole‑home drain issues point to a main sewer clog. Common signs are several fixtures draining slowly at once and gurgling toilets. Backups at the lowest drain (basement floor drain or first‑floor shower) are strong warnings. Strong sewer odors or water at the outdoor cleanout also indicate a blockage. If plunging one fixture doesn’t help, the clog is likely in the main line. We handle sewer camera inspections, drain cleaning, hydro jetting, and trenchless repair.

Quick checks:

• Run a sink; see if a tub or floor drain backs up.
• Flush a toilet; listen for bubbling elsewhere.
• Check the outside cleanout for standing water. <br/>
