Leave the property immediately and call the gas utility or emergency services from a safe location. Do not operate switches, vehicles, flames, or phones inside the affected building.

When multiple fixtures slow, gurgle, or back up together, the obstruction may be in a shared building drain or sewer line rather than one fixture trap. Start with the sewer cleaning guide.

Hydro jetting can remove heavy grease, sludge, and buildup from suitable piping. The line condition and obstruction type should be considered first because high-pressure cleaning is not the right method for every pipe.
