Drains and sewer: slow drains, backups and sewer lines.
Describe what your drains are doing, including sewer line concerns and replacement questions. Say which fixtures are affected.
Safe next steps
- Stop running water into drains that are backing up.
- Do not mix drain chemicals; they can be hazardous.
- Note which fixtures are affected and which are fine.
- If sewage is inside, keep people and pets away from it.
What to tell the office
- Address and city
- Which fixtures are affected

- Whether it is a home or a commercial property
