Condo drain backing up from the unit above?
Why it happens in Sunset Beach
Census estimates show about 23% of Sunset Beach homes are in buildings with five or more units. In a condo building, several units drain into shared stacks, and grease or wipes from one unit can push water up in another.
What to try, and when to call us
Stop using water and tell the HOA or building manager. Shared lines are usually the association's to clear, and a plumber can snake them from a cleanout.

Newer house and the toilet's already clogged?
Why Sunset Beach homes see this
The median Sunset Beach home was built in 2000, by Census estimates, and about 49% went up since then. Newer PVC drains rarely fail on their own, so a clog is usually wipes, paper or grease.
When to stop and call
The Shallotte AG station averages about 57 inches of rain a year, but in a newer house a backup is about what went down the drain far more often than rain.
