Signs of a Clogged Drain
- A sink drain starts to back up with water.
- Shower drains start to accumulate water.
- Sink water bubbles when the toilet is running.
- The area around the kitchen sink has a foul smell.
- After using the dishwasher or washing machine, the drains ‘gurgle’.
- A clogged sewer drain can be identified by the smell of sewage coming from one or more drains.
- On the floor next to the sink or bathtub, water collects.
Can Toilet Paper Clog a Sewer Line?
Sadly, toilet paper has a tendency to clog sewer pipes. Typically, you only experience this if you:
Use extra-thick toilet paper that is difficult for your body to process.
With each flush, use an excessive amount of toilet paper.
In addition to toilet paper getting tangled up in your sewage system, feminine hygiene products and “flushable” wipes that aren’t actually flushable can also cause issues. The best course of action is to flush only toilet paper and waste, and discard anything else.
What You Can Do About a Clogged Drain
By turning on the faucet until the sink is halfway full of water, you can try to unclog a clogged drain. Use a wet towel to block one of the drains in a clogged double kitchen sink. Cover the overflow hole if your clog is in the bathroom sink. Next, begin plunging the open drain with a cup plunger. Work it up and down, pull to remove it, then go through the process again.
Turn off the shutoff valve for that fixture if only one drain is having issues. We advise shutting off your home’s main shutoff valve in case you experience a drain emergency, such as a significant water leak.
Do not worry if any of these possibilities overwhelm you or if you lack confidence in your ability to choose plumbing options. Simply contact Clear Water Plumbing’s plumbing experts; that’s what we’re here for.
