Stop adding water
Pause washers, dishwashers, showers, and repeated flushing when wastewater is rising or appearing at a lower fixture.
Note every affected fixture
One slow sink suggests a local branch; several fixtures or a low-level backup can indicate a mainline restriction.
Describe recent changes
Roots, grease, wipes, construction activity, freezing weather, or a recently recurring clog can change the best tool and approach.
Verify flow after clearing
A successful cleaning should restore drainage. Camera verification may be useful when the blockage recurs or pipe damage is suspected.
