Drain Cleaning & Sewer Line Help in Davis & Weber County

Where the water backs up tells the plumber where to look. A single sink or tub points to a clog in that branch. If the toilet gurgles when the washer drains, or water comes up in the lowest drain in the house, the blockage is probably in the main line and you should stop using water until it is cleared.

Common causes include kitchen grease, so-called flushable wipes, laundry lint and tree roots in older clay or cast-iron sewer laterals. Plumbers typically clear lines with a cable machine through a cleanout; for repeat problems, ask about a camera inspection so you can see the cause instead of guessing.

Find your cleanout before you need it. It is usually a capped pipe in the basement, a utility room or the yard near the foundation, and easy access saves time on the visit.
