What to Do While You Wait in Middleburg

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

  • Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
  • Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
  • If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
  • Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
