Slow Drain vs Clogged Drain: When to Call a Plumber in St. John's

A slow bathroom sink is annoying. A main-line backup is an emergency. Knowing the difference saves money and prevents damage.

Try this first

• One fixture slow: often a local trap or aerator issue
• Multiple fixtures slow: possible main-line problem
• Gurgling with toilet use: call sooner rather than later

Avoid chemical drain openers in older NL homes — they can damage pipes and complicate a proper cleanout.
