Experiencing a drain clog or sewer backup? CT Plumbing Connect helps Connecticut homeowners get connected with local emergency drain and sewer professionals available 24/7 statewide.
Drain and sewer problems can escalate quickly. While some issues may be addressed during regular business hours, certain situations require immediate attention to prevent property damage, health hazards, or further complications.
If you're experiencing any of the following, it may be considered an emergency situation:
Raw sewage backing up into your home through drains, toilets, or floor drains poses immediate health risks.
When multiple drains throughout your home are clogged simultaneously, it may indicate a main sewer line blockage.
Unusual sounds from drains when flushing toilets or running water can signal venting or blockage issues.
Water pooling in your basement, yard, or near the foundation may indicate a sewer line break or severe blockage.
Connecticut homeowners experiencing these situations can contact CT Plumbing Connect to be connected with local emergency drain and sewer professionals. For broader plumbing emergencies beyond drain and sewer issues, see our emergency plumber services page.

A clogged main drain is a serious plumbing emergency that affects your entire home's drainage system. When your main drain line is blocked, water and waste cannot exit your home properly, leading to backups in multiple fixtures simultaneously. This situation often manifests as water backing up in basement floor drains, toilets overflowing when other fixtures are used, or gurgling sounds throughout your plumbing system.
Main drain clogs can be caused by accumulated debris, grease buildup, tree root intrusion, or foreign objects lodged in the line. Connecticut homeowners experiencing signs of a main drain blockage should stop using water fixtures immediately and contact professional help. Local professionals have specialized equipment to locate and clear main drain blockages, often using camera inspection to identify the exact location and cause before proceeding with clearing methods.

If you're experiencing a drain or sewer emergency, there are steps you can take while waiting for professional assistance to help minimize potential complications.
Avoid using sinks, toilets, showers, or any water-using appliances in your home. Continued water use during a backup can worsen the situation and cause additional overflow.
If the situation is severe, you may want to shut off your main water supply to prevent additional water from entering the drainage system. Know where your main shutoff valve is located.
Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria and pathogens. Avoid direct contact with sewage water and keep children and pets away from affected areas.
Open windows and doors to improve air circulation if safe to do so. Sewer gases can be unpleasant and potentially hazardous in enclosed spaces.
Take photos or videos of the damage for insurance purposes if applicable. This documentation may be helpful when filing claims or discussing the situation with professionals.
Note: These are general suggestions. Always prioritize your safety. If you experience a sewage backup that has caused water damage to your home, you may need to address both the plumbing emergency and the resulting water damage.
