Slow Drains Throughout the House? It's Probably the Main Line

One slow sink is a local clog. But when the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry all drain sluggishly at the same time, the trouble is almost always farther downstream — in the main line everything shares.

Read the Pattern

The tell is simultaneity. If running the washing machine makes the basement floor drain back up, or flushing a toilet slows the tub, the blockage is in the main line below where your branch drains join together.

Why It Needs Prompt Attention

A partially blocked main is a backup waiting to happen. Every load of laundry and every shower pushes more water toward a bottleneck that's already struggling. Clearing it now prevents raw sewage from coming up the lowest drain in the house.

The Fix

We clear the main through your cleanout and, if the clog keeps returning, camera the line to find out why. Roots, grease, and bellies are the usual suspects.
