One fixture is slow
A sink or shower that drains slowly while other fixtures work normally may have a local blockage. Hair, grease or debris can collect in a trap or nearby line.
Several fixtures are affected
If a toilet flush causes water to rise in a tub or floor drain, the issue may be farther down the shared drain. Stop using affected fixtures and get the line assessed.
The problem keeps returning
A blockage that comes back soon after clearing can point to a deeper cause. An inspection can help distinguish buildup from a damaged or obstructed line.
If sewage is present
Avoid contact with wastewater. Keep children and pets away, stop using affected plumbing and seek qualified help.
