Drain cleaning in Murfreesboro
One slow sink is usually a simple clog. Several drains backing up at once points to the main sewer line. Either way, tell us what's happening and we'll pass your request to a local plumber.
Signs it's the main line
- Water comes up in the tub or shower when you flush a toilet.
- Several drains are slow or gurgle at the same time.
- Sewage smell indoors, or soggy spots in the yard over the sewer line.
If that's what you're seeing, stop running water and flushing until a plumber checks it, or you may get sewage backing up into the house.
What plumbers usually do
Most clogs clear with a drain snake. Stubborn or repeat clogs may need hydro-jetting, and a camera inspection can show whether tree roots or a broken pipe are the cause. Ask whether the price includes the camera, and whether there's a warranty if the clog comes back.
Avoid chemical drain cleaners on a fully blocked drain. They can damage older pipes and make the job dangerous for the plumber.
