When your home's plumbing goes haywire, it's always an inconvenience - but sometimes it can be downright dangerous too. Backup Plumbing is committed to helping our customers avoid plumbing emergencies with our expert knowledge, unparalleled customer service, and comprehensive approach to finding solutions to your plumbing problems. Backup Plumbing is a plumbing company founded in 2018 by an Oldham County native with over 20 years of experience in the business.

We provide a wide range of residential plumbing services, including water heater repairs and installations and main sewer cleaning services using cutting-edge equipment and camera inspections. Our objective is to offer high-quality service at a reasonable rate with upfront pricing and industry-leading warranties so that our customers feel confident in selecting us as their go-to plumbers for all their needs, no matter the job size. Today we want to focus on one issue that often leads to full-blown plumbing emergencies: clogged drains.

A clogged drain can be a nuisance and, at worst, a health hazard. Backup Plumbing offers tips on detecting a clogged drain before it becomes an emergency. Knowing the seven signs of a clogged drain, you can take action before things get messy. A blocked drain can cause all sorts of problems like nasty smells coming from your sinks, unsightly standing water, or water backing up, slow drainage, strange gurgling noises or other sounds in the drains, fruit or drain flies around the drains, and even bulging pipes. But luckily, there are ways to detect if you have a clog before it becomes a massive headache.

When it comes to more minor blockages, you can generally clear them using DIY procedures or plunging. However, a larger, more stubborn obstruction may need expert help if you're having trouble with a persistent clog, sewer odors, or recurring blockages in your drains or toilets. If this sounds like your situation, you'll need to contact Backup Plumbing's experts for the best solution.
