Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
Paying close attention to the operation of your drains is the best way to keep your plumbing system in good condition. Sometimes subtle and other times obvious, the following are signs that it’s time for drain cleaning that you don’t want to ignore:
- Foul odors: Foul odors occur when grease, food debris, and other trapped waste begin to decompose within the drain.
- Slow drainage: Slow drainage indicates a growing blockage within the drain. Left uncleared, the blockage will grow until it causes a clog and backup within your sink, shower, bathtub, toilet, etc.
- Gurgling sounds: Gurgling occurs as water trickles through the blockage and the air is prevented from flowing through the pipe.
- Backups: Backups are a clear sign of a complete blockage of your drain. This is a critical sign that professional drain cleaning should be scheduled immediately.
Most problems with drains are often caused by what we choose to flush down them. When flushed, these items become trapped within the drain and can solidify into a solid plug that blocks water flow. Some things that should never be flushed down your drains include:
- Personal hygiene products
- Paper towels
- “Flushable” baby wipes
- Grease, fat, and oil
- Hair
- Diapers
- Fibrous food waste, like celery, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.
