Start with which fixtures are affected
If only a kitchen sink is slow while other drains work normally, a fixture or branch-line restriction may be involved. A slow bathroom basin, tub or shower can also be localized. Notice the pattern during ordinary use; do not keep running water to provoke a backup.
Several drains deserve a wider look
Multiple fixtures backing up together, a low drain receiving wastewater when another fixture runs, or recurring stoppages can suggest a restriction in a shared line. Venting and other conditions can also produce symptoms. Stop using affected plumbing and avoid contact with wastewater rather than attempting a diagnosis.
Recurrence is information, not proof
A clog that returns could involve remaining buildup or a pipe condition. It does not automatically mean roots or a collapsed sewer. Share how long the previous clearing lasted, whether the same fixtures are affected and whether an inspection was performed.
