Signs Of Main Line Stoppages

Multiple Drains Backing Up

If you’ve noticed more than one drain exhibiting symptoms like slow movement, gurgling sounds, unpleasant smells, or water backing up, it’s highly likely that a main sewer clog is the culprit. Most customers describe the sound as “gurgling” or “bubbling”.

Sewer Clean Out Drainage

Keep an eye on your yard and the sewer line cleanout pipe. If you observe sewage standing in your yard or draining from the cleanout pipe, a main sewer clog is a probable cause.

Sewage in Floor Drain

The presence of sewage in the floor drain is a clear sign of a main sewer line blockage. This issue requires prompt attention to prevent further damage.

Water Backing Up in Shower When Toilet Flushes

Another red flag is water backing up in the shower when you flush the toilet. This is indicative of a clogged main sewer line and should not be ignored.

Taking Action

It’s crucial to understand that a main line stoppage is a serious problem that demands immediate professional attention. If you suspect a sewer drain clog, refrain from using your home plumbing until the issue is resolved to prevent exacerbating the problem.

Clearing a main line stoppage involves handling raw sewage, making it a task best left to professionals equipped with the right tools and expertise. At Green Country Plumbing, our team is ready to tackle these challenges, ensuring a safe and effective resolution to your main line stoppage problems.
