Clogged residential drain requiring professional cleaning

Signs You May Have a Clogged Drain

Drain problems usually start out small but develop into larger plumbing issues over time. Catching the first symptoms will save you from going through the tedious and costly process of cleaning it up after. Here are some of the things that can tell you that you have problems with your drain system:

Slow Drainage of Water: Water takes a lot of time to come out of your kitchen sink or bathroom tub/shower.

Gurgling: You hear some gurgling sounds from the pipes or toilets when you use water elsewhere in your home.

Foul Odor: You smell a foul odor emanating from the floor drains or the kitchen sink.

Backup of Water: Sewage water comes out of the floor drains, shower, or toilets every time you turn on the washer or flush the toilet.

Water Puddles: There are water puddles around your floor drains inside the basement or utility room.

Common Causes of Clogged Drains

Knowing what enters your drains will prevent any surprises when they get blocked. Drains are built to handle liquid waste but regular use causes certain substances which cannot be easily rinsed down the drain. The most common sources of drain blockages are:

Fat and Grease: They enter the drains in a liquid state and then solidify and trap any food scraps.

Hair: Hair is easily trapped in the bathroom drains and, mixed with soap, forms a thick plug.

Foreign Objects: Wipes, facial tissue papers, and sanitary items do not dissolve in water, unlike toilet paper.

Tree Roots Entering Pipes: Underground tree roots search for moisture, making their way through small gaps in external drainage systems.

Hard Water Mineral Deposits: These mineral deposits accumulate in the drain pipes from hard water over time.

Emergency Drain Cleaning

When water is threatening to flood your home, you won’t have time to schedule an appointment that will take place days later. Our emergency plumbing service has a technician to your door quickly ready to deal with massive sewer blockages, stop any overflows, and ensure your home is safe again. In dealing with drain emergencies, remember these important tips:

Turn off the Water Supply: Close the main water valve right away if there are fixtures overflowing with water in order to reduce water damage.

Avoid Using Chemical Cleaners: Don’t use store bought cleaners on a clogged drain because there will be standing water with chemicals and this makes it dangerous for the technicians.

Avoid Sewer Water: Avoid coming into contact with any standing sewer water to avoid contamination by any bacteria.

FAQs

How frequently should I clean my drains?

Drain cleaning is typically needed once a year to every two years for normal houses to prevent any potential clogs and maintain cleanliness.

Why shouldn’t I use liquid drain cleaners?

They consist of harsh chemicals that produce heat and will damage PVC and corrode older metal pipes. They seldom remove all the obstacles from pipes.

What is hydro jetting?

It involves blasting away dirt, scale, and grime from pipes with powerful water jets to leave them completely clean.

Is it true that tree roots can cause blockages in my drains?

Yes. It is because tree roots naturally move toward the source of water and can enter through any crack or joint and trap solid waste material, leading to massive sewer blockages.

How to proceed if my basement drain starts to back up?

Immediately stop using any water within your house and contact an emergency plumber, as it normally indicates a problem with the main sewer line.
