Backed Up Drain: What to Do and Who to Call
Backed up drain? See the first steps to take and when to call CDS Service Co, available 24/7.
What Causes Backed Up Drain?
Understanding backed up drain helps homeowners in Tampa Bay make informed decisions about when to call a plumber.
Warning Signs
- Water backs up instead of draining at all
- Backup appears in a different fixture (e.g. water in the tub when the toilet flushes)
- Repeated backups despite clearing them
- Foul odor along with the backup
- Backup follows heavy rain or heavy water use elsewhere in the house
When to Call a Plumber
Call right away if water backs up into multiple fixtures or won't clear at all -- that usually points to a blockage further down the line than a single-fixture clog.
What To Do Right Now
- Stop using the affected fixture and nearby drains until it's cleared
- Don't run more water hoping it will push through
- Call CDS Service Co at (813) 590-7499
- Check whether the backup shows up in more than one fixture

Michael and Bradley really put in a lot of effort for us. They stayed after nightfall, cleared every pipe and explained what they were doing every step of the way. We are very grateful for their timely and effective help. We'll keep using CDS in the future because of them.
