Your home's sewer line transports the waste and greywater you generate to the underground sewer main, where it is swept away and made safe again at a wastewater treatment plant. But a clog in your main line can cause serious trouble, so Joe Klosterman Plumbing, the premier residential plumbing company in Cincinnati, OH, wants you to recognize the signs of a sewer line clog. Since 1983, their licensed master plumbers have been serving the Tri-State area, performing high-quality and affordable plumbing installation, maintenance, and repairs.

3 Signs Your Main Sewer Line May Be Clogged

Slow Flowing Drains

If one sink drains slowly and water tends to accumulate before draining, the pipes leading from that sink to the main line may be clogged or starting to clog. However, if all of your sinks drain slowly, you probably have a clog in the main sewer line into which all your drains empty. It could be caused by invasive tree roots, flushing non-biodegradable items, or accumulations of grease. Call a plumber immediately to have your plumbing repaired or replaced before further complications arise.

Gurgling Noises

Gurgling noises from a single drain indicate water is not flowing smoothly through the attached drain pipes. Gurgling noises from all inside and outside drains indicate a more serious problem with your main sewer line, and a qualified plumber should be called to complete an inspection.

Sewage Backup

If you fail to call a plumber in time, you might find yourself facing a dreadful, even dangerous mess as sewage backs up into your sinks, bathtub, or bathroom floor drains. If this happens, call a plumber for professional help. Sewage carries toxic, disease-causing contaminants, and a qualified plumbing company should have the equipment and protective gear to handle the problem.
