Probably a single clog

  • Only one sink, tub or toilet is slow.
  • Other fixtures drain normally.

Probably the main line

  • Several fixtures are slow at once.
  • The toilet gurgles when you run the sink or washer.
  • Water comes up in the tub or a floor drain.
  • There's a sewer smell inside.

Main line problems need a plumber with a drain machine or jetter. Stop running water until they arrive.
