You can see that water is not going down the drain in kitchen sink, bathtub, laundry room.

Other problems leading to drain clogs include: These problems occur in restrooms when feminine hygiene products, wipes, cotton swabs, baby hygiene products, and more are flushed down the toilet. Clearing a clogged drain can involve removing and reinstalling the toilet, which imposes additional costs on homeowners.
