Signs of a Clogged Drain

A clogged sewer drain can cause serious plumbing issues if left untreated. Here are the top warning signs to watch for:

1. Slow Draining Fixtures

• Water drains slowly in sinks, tubs, or showers

• Multiple drains clogging at the same time

2. Gurgling Sounds

• Toilets or sinks make bubbling or gurgling noises when draining

• Indicates air trapped in the pipes due to a blockage

3. Sewer Smells or Rotten Odors

• Foul odors coming from drains, toilets, or outside near the sewer line

• Sewer gases backing up due to a clog

4. Frequent Toilet Backups

• Toilets overflow or don’t flush properly, even after plunging

• Wastewater backs up into other drains when using the toilet

5. Water Backing Up in Different Areas

• Flushing the toilet causes water to rise in the tub or shower

• Running a sink causes gurgling in another drain

6. Puddles or Soggy Areas in Your Yard

• Sewage water pooling in the yard could mean a main sewer line clog or break

• Strong sewer smell outside
