What the customer called about
At a home in Collinsville, ZIP code 74021, the washer was backing up into the shower. The toilet had stopped working too. We came out to address the backed-up drains.
What our plumber found
We found the main sewer line clogged in the direction of the septic tank. We also noticed substantial mineral and calcium buildup in the drains.
After clearing the main line, we tested drainage and found that the back bathroom still was not draining.
How we fixed it
We ran our mainline sewer machine down the drain and removed the clog. Water then flowed into the septic tank.
We also performed interior drain cleaning and reset the toilet with a new wax ring, supply line and closet bolts.
What this means for your home
When a washer backs up into a shower and the toilet stops working, more than one fixture needs attention. We test drainage after clearing a main line because another drainage problem can remain, as it did in this home's back bathroom.
