Tell you what to stop using
On the phone, we'll figure out if it's one fixture or the main line, and what to avoid flushing or running.
Drains & main lines

If roots or a sag are likely, we'll recommend a camera inspection — as a follow-up, not a 2 a.m. upsell.
Quick FAQ
Before you call.
Is one slow drain an emergency?
Usually not — one slow fixture can wait for daylight. Multiple fixtures backing up at once usually means the main line, and that's worth a call right now.
Do you do camera inspections at night?
At night we focus on getting your drains usable again. If the blockage pattern suggests roots or pipe damage, we'll schedule the camera for daytime rates.
