When a sewer line may be involved
A sewer line concern can affect more than one fixture. Toilets that bubble, tubs or showers that back up, multiple slow drains, wastewater odors, and sewage appearing at a low drain can indicate a larger drainage problem.
Because wastewater creates a sanitation concern, it is best to stop using affected fixtures and keep people away from any backup until the condition is assessed.
- Multiple drains slow down at the same time
- Wastewater returns through a tub, shower, or floor drain
- Toilets bubble or do not flush normally
- Sewer odor appears indoors or outdoors
