Water that sprays back out of a drain or a fixture is a clog pushing back, and it is a sign the line is backing up. It needs clearing before the backup becomes a flood.
The cause
A clog downstream makes the water back up, and the pressure pushes it up and out of the nearest opening. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Chicopee, a grease or hair clog is the usual start.
The warning
Spraying or gurgling from a drain when another fixture runs means the line is shared and partially blocked.
The fix
Clearing the line with a snake or jetting removes the clog, and the water drains normally again.
The prevention
A strainer and careful what-goes-down habits keep the clog from returning.
The call
