Signs the problem may be deeper than one drain
Repeated backups and multiple affected fixtures can point to a problem in a larger drain or sewer line rather than a simple clog near one fixture.
- Wastewater backing up through a tub, shower, or floor drain
- Several fixtures clogging or gurgling together
- Recurring stoppages after temporary clearing
- Strong sewer odors inside or around the property
- Unusually wet or sunken areas near a sewer route
- Backups that return when large amounts of water are used
