What to do while the line is backing up

A little restraint now can prevent a larger mess while you arrange service.

  • Stop using waterDo not run sinks, showers, the dishwasher, or the washing machine. More water can force waste into the lowest fixture.
  • Keep clear of the backupKeep children and pets away from wastewater. Avoid direct contact and do not use a wet vacuum that is not rated for contaminated water.
  • Check which fixtures are affectedNote whether the problem involves one drain or several. Tell the scheduler about gurgling, odors, and where water first appeared.
  • Skip chemical cleanersThey rarely reach a main-line blockage and can leave caustic liquid in the pipe for the technician to encounter.

Kriel and Xavier showed up within an hour of us calling. It ended up being a major repair to a collapsed pipe that required two days worth of work. The diagnosis was challenging, but they figured it out. Total professionals and they're our plumbers for life. Highly recommend.
