Signs Your Drain Needs Cleaning

 

 

You might not think about your home’s plumbing system until something goes wrong — like a blocked toilet that floods the bathroom!  

 

Even if you have noticed the warning signs of slow-flowing drains, you may not realize that it’s time for a drain cleaning to prevent backups and damage.  

 

Our plumbers at Best Home Services discuss the top five warning signs that your home’s drains need to be addressed now! 

 

 

 Slow Drains 

 

Although there are many reasons your drain flow is slow, common culprits include hair, grease, soap, or other substances that build up over time, clogging your pipes and making them drain slowly.  

 

If you notice the drain is slow, do not assume that it will get better with time — get those pipes cleaned immediately.  

 

Tip: Be cautious of what chemicals or cleaners you put down the drain;  

many can do more harm than good! 

 

Foul Odors 

 

When you begin to smell unpleasant odors coming from the plumbing fixtures, it could be a backed-up drain.  

 

These stinky odors could be sewer gases or waste sitting in your drains, so an immediate inspection is imperative with a quick resolution before the issue becomes worse.

That Sounds Like Trouble  

 

What is that sound? A gurgling in your toilet or drain should be the signal to call in a plumber from Best Home Services 

 

Those sounds most often come from a shower or tub, but your sink or toilet might also be the culprit. It’s a sign of improper ventilation, pointing to trapped air, or an obstruction in your plumbing.  

 

 

 

Frequent Clogs or Backups 

 

If you repeatedly are unclogging the toilet or shower drain, there is a problem. Frequent blockages can be a sign that there is a potentially major clog in your home.  

 

This is not an issue to sit on. When fixtures back up, toxic sewage can flow into your home (gross). If this happens, call a plumber from Best Home Services immediately to determine if this is an isolated clog or something deeper in your sewer line.

Multiple Clogged Drains 

 

If you have more than one sink clogged, and the bathtub, toilet, and other sinks in the house are not draining well, this is a sign that there is a serious problem with your pipes. There could be a clog in the main sewer line or an issue with the main drainage line.  

 

Either way, call in a professional plumber right away. By delaying action, you risk having a water backup on your hands, which can result in extensive damage and costly cleanup.
