Emergency Drain Problems We Address
Sewer and Main Drain Backups
Multiple backed-up fixtures can point to a blockage in a shared drain or main sewer line. We evaluate the affected plumbing and discuss appropriate next steps.
Overflowing Toilets
A toilet that repeatedly overflows or backs up may have a blockage in the fixture or connected drain line. Stop flushing and call for help.
Kitchen and Bathroom Drain Clogs
Grease, food residue, hair, soap buildup, and other debris can restrict drains. We work to identify the cause and recommend a suitable cleaning option.
Floor Drain Backups
Water coming up through a floor drain may indicate a blockage farther along the drainage system. Avoid using connected fixtures until the problem is evaluated.

What counts as a drain emergency?
Sewage or wastewater backing up, multiple drains failing at once, an overflowing toilet, or water coming up through a floor drain should be addressed promptly.
Should I keep using water during a sewer backup?
No. Stop using water in the affected fixtures. If several drains are backing up, limit water use throughout the home until the issue is evaluated.

Chemical cleaners may be hazardous and may not clear the cause of a recurring blockage. Do not mix drain cleaning products.
