One slow drain is usually a local clog. Several slow drains at once, especially the toilets and the lowest drains in the house, point to the main sewer line. Other signs include gurgling from toilets or drains when another fixture runs, water backing up into a tub or floor drain, sewage smells inside or in the yard, and a soggy, sunken or unusually green strip of lawn over the line’s path.

The common causes are tree roots growing in through joints, old clay or cast iron pipe that has cracked or corroded, a section that has sagged and holds waste, and grease buildup. A video camera inspection shows exactly which one you have and where, so the fix fits the problem.
