If more than one drain in your home backs up at the same time, this likely means you have a clog deep in your main line. You may also notice foul odors coming out of multiple drains.

Giveaways of clogs in your drains and plumbing system are:
-Sink, toilet, or shower gurgles when in use
-Foul odors permeate around drains or sinks
-Water flow is restricted when using an outlet or faucet
-Toilet clogs frequently
-Puddles or water damage near plumbing fixtures
-Water drains incredibly slowly as it flows into pipes

If your home is over 20 years old, it is generally a good idea to have the sewer line and drain inspected. If you have tree roots near your sewer line, you may need to have it inspected every few years.

-Chemical cleaning solutions are highly toxic
-They are bad for the environment
-They can cause chemical reactions
-They don’t always solve your drain problems
