Some drain problems can wait until morning; others can't. Here's a practical way to decide.
Call right away if…
- Sewage is entering the home through any drain
- The only toilet in the home is unusable
- All drains are backing up at once
- Water is near electrical equipment
It can probably wait if…
- One sink is slow but still draining
- You have another working bathroom
- The issue has been gradual over weeks
What to do in the meantime
Stop using water, avoid chemical cleaners in a fully blocked drain, and keep the area clear.
