Sewage backup or the inability to flush toilets, use the shower or wash your hands can cause major disruptions in your Memphis household and the need for sewer drain cleaning. Determining if your sewer is clogged can be confusing, but there are some signs to look for:

• All drains are slow, not just one toilet or sink.
• Strong smell coming from drains.
• Sewage backup in showers or tubs.

• Hair
• Grease
• Paper waste
• Tree roots
• Build-up
• Corrosion
