Overview
Sewer problems can affect more than one fixture and may become more disruptive when wastewater cannot move through the line properly. Multiple slow drains, recurring backups, and persistent sewer odors can indicate an issue beyond a single fixture.
Purflo Plumbing provides sewer service throughout Tucson. We assess the affected plumbing and symptoms to determine whether the concern involves a fixture, drain, or shared sewer line, then explain what needs attention before moving forward.
Symptoms
Signs you may need sewer service
Sewage backing up
Wastewater coming back through a drain needs prompt attention. Limit use of the affected fixtures until the cause has been evaluated.
Recurring sewer odors
A persistent sewage smell inside the home or around the property can have several possible causes. An assessment can help determine where the odor is coming from.
Our process
How sewer service works
-
We discuss the symptoms
We ask when the problem started, which drains are affected, and whether you have experienced the issue before. These details help narrow down where to look.
-
We assess the line
The plumber examines the accessible plumbing and reported symptoms to determine whether the concern appears to involve a fixture, drain, or sewer line.
-
We explain the next step
We explain what was found, what work may be needed, and why it is recommended so you can decide how to proceed.
Scope
What sewer service may cover
The cost depends on what is causing the sewer problem and what work is required to address it. We explain the recommended work before proceeding.

Is a slow drain always a sewer problem?
No. One slow drain may have a local blockage or fixture issue. When several drains slow down together, the problem may be farther along the shared sewer line.
What should I do during a sewer backup?
Stop using the affected fixtures and limit water use until the problem can be assessed. This can help prevent additional wastewater from backing up into the property.
Can sewer odors come from something other than the sewer line?
Yes. Sewer odors can have several possible sources. A plumber can assess the symptoms and determine what needs attention.
Do I need sewer service if the problem keeps coming back?
Recurring backups or slow drains are a reason to have the problem assessed. Repeatedly treating the symptom without identifying the cause may not resolve the underlying issue.
Plumbing Problems Don't Always Wait
A leaking pipe, backed-up drain, or failed fixture can quickly turn into a bigger problem. If you can safely shut off the water, do so, then contact Purflo Plumbing so the issue can be assessed before more damage occurs.
