If you’re dealing with widespread plumbing issues, you may have a clogged sewer line. These problems can grow out of control quickly, so it’s important to catch the signs early and call a professional plumber to handle the issue as soon as you notice it. The Clog Pro team has years of experience keeping Vancouver WA and Portland OR plumbing systems online, and we’re here with a few of the early warning signs that your sewer line is clogged.

1.

Slow Drains

Drains might drain slowly if there’s a clog somewhere down the line. You might also notice bubbling as they drain. If your toilet, sink, or shower drain doesn’t seem to be clogged, but it’s still draining slowly, you might be dealing with a clogged sewer line instead.

2.

Foul Smells from Drains

If sewage is backing up into your plumbing system, there will be unpleasant odors. You might notice them at any one of your drains – whether it’s your bathroom or kitchen sink, shower drain, or bathtub – even if you haven’t noticed any water backed up at any of these places.

3.

Multiple Clogged Drains

If it seems like every drain in your house is clogged at the same time, there may be a larger issue – a clogged sewer pipe. Clogs in your main sewer pipe affect the entire system; since the pipe connects to every plumbing appliance in your home, if it’s clogged, the rest of the system will eventually fill up.

4.

Sewage Backups

If you flush your toilet and sewage backs up from the nearby shower drain, you’re definitely looking at a clog further along in your system. This happens because water can’t make its way through the clogged sewer system, but it has to go somewhere. It will follow the path of least resistance: right back out another drain.

I Think My Sewer is Clogged. What Now?

You might be tempted to try DIY drain clog solutions. However, it’s always best to get a professional on the job if you’re dealing with a plumbing issue. Many DIY plumbing techniques can cause damage to your system. Even over-the-counter drain cleaners can damage your plumbing, especially if you have a septic system.

A professional plumber will use video inspections to locate the clog and hydrojetting to make sure it is completely cleared.
