Turn off the main water source. If you have access to your main cleanout line, you can remove the short, round rubber cap to keep the dirty water off your property.
Taking the cap off relieves pressure inside your home and the backup can discharge on the cleanout line.

Plumbers will use a long auger or plumbing snake down the drain and try to remove the clog.

If the first step doesn’t solve the problem, they may user a sewer camera for a thorough inspection.

Professionals can also use a washer attached to a sewer jetter. This is a long hose that can break apart clogs due to its pressure. It can also scrub the sides of a dirty pipe as it moves along the line.
Douglas Orr Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency service. They are equipped with high end sewer jetters with a
500 foot hose capacity and inspection cameras for any type of sewer line clog.
