While drain cleaning will help you eliminate a blockage once it’s already in your home, there are steps that homeowners can take the avoid clogs entirely. These include:
- Mesh strainers: Install mesh strainers or hair catchers in your tubs, showers, and sinks to catch materials that don’t belong in your drains. Be sure to clear them out at least once a day.
- Dos & don’ts: Avoid putting the wrong items down your garbage disposal, toilet, or drains. Familiarize yourself with the things you shouldn’t put down the garbage disposal and live by it!

Sewage is backing up through my drains! What do I do?
When a plumbing emergency strikes, it’s important to have a plan of action in place to follow. Here’s what to do if sewage starts backing up through your drains:
- Contact Len The Plumber first to have a professional diagnose the issue.
- You can attempt to remedy the clog with a drain snake, hot water, or a combination of vinegar and baking soda.
- If that doesn’t work, avoid using the drain or plumbing fixtures where the backup is occurring.
- Inspect for standing water in your sewer cleanout area. If there isn’t any standing water, the clog is likely in your main sewer line.
- Keep children and pets away from the affected plumbing appliances. If wastewater is overflowing, turn off your home’s central heating system to prevent it from reaching your air vents and contaminating your indoor air supply.
After that, wait for your plumbing professional to arrive and locate the issue. Our team will offer expert repair recommendations once we’ve had a chance to assess the situation.
