COMMON DRAIN PROBLEMS
Start with what you are seeing in your home.
Knowing which fixtures are affected—and whether the problem is new or recurring—helps narrow down where the drainage issue may be.
Bathroom drain clogs
Hair, soap, and other buildup can affect sinks, tubs, and showers.
Slow or recurring drains
A drain that keeps slowing down may need more than a temporary fix.
Toilets backing up
A toilet backup can come from the fixture, its branch drain, or a larger drainage problem.
Multiple drains backing up
When several fixtures are affected, the problem may be farther along the drainage system.
Sewer odors
Persistent drain odors can point to a dry trap, venting issue, leak, or drainage problem.
POSSIBLE MAIN SEWER-LINE PROBLEM
Several backed-up fixtures can point to a larger issue.
A single slow sink may be local to that fixture. When several drains back up together—especially at the lowest fixtures—the restriction or problem may be farther downstream. Avoid continuing to run water and call AHVEE to discuss the symptoms.

CLEARING A CLOG
When the issue is a restriction
Many kitchen, bathroom, and fixture drain problems are caused by buildup or a localized blockage. The right approach depends on the affected fixture, the location of the restriction, and the condition of the piping.
REPAIRING THE PIPING
When clearing alone may not solve it
Repeated problems, visible leaks, corrosion, poor pipe condition, or damaged sections can mean the drain or sewer piping needs repair. AHVEE can explain the condition found and discuss whether a targeted repair or replacement is appropriate.
