Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
If you’re unsure whether the state of your drains warrants professional drain cleaning, consider these seven signs of a serious drainage problem.
- Slow drains: If water always drains slowly from any drain, then you probably have a partial blockage down the line.
- Unusual odors: Do your drains smell bad, or do you frequently catch foul odors in rooms with drains like your bathroom or kitchen? Even if it’s not yet causing blockage, you probably have some sort of drainage problem developing.
- Frequent clogs: Clogs shouldn’t be happening on a regular basis, so don’t overlook it if it happens all the time but resolves soon. Frequent clogs are a sign of trouble.
- Gurgling drains: When drains gurgle, bubble, or you notice the water levels in your toilet change, it all points to one problem: air getting into parts of your drain it shouldn’t be in. This often happens because of blockages causing backflow to go where it shouldn’t.
- Multiple clogs: If several drains behave like they’re clogged at once, your main sewer line might have problems. This needs immediate professional attention, lest you end up with major damages.
- Increased pests: Even if you haven’t noticed odors or backflow yet, pests might have shown up for the water and other particulates. Fruit flies and other water-attracted pests can be a giveaway.
- Backup: If running water down one drain leads to water coming back up out of another drain, you need professional help quickly. This can cause serious contamination, illness, and property damage unattended.
Any one of these can be indicative of a drain problem; if you have more than one, or any severe manifestation of any of these, it’s time to stop delaying before your problem gets worse.
If a few of these issues sound familiar, it’s time to call Meetze Plumbing to let us handle it. Contact us online or call 803-732-3747 to schedule a visit.
How To Prevent Drain Clogs
Clogs don’t happen for no reason at all. While some causes aren’t within your control, such as old pipes rusting and thus narrowing, others you can mitigate with maintenance and care.
- Don’t run fats, like grease or oil, down your drains.
- Avoid letting foods that expand go through your garbage disposal, like rice or pasta.
- Run hot water through drains regularly.
- Use strainers to catch hair and other debris in the tub or bathroom sink.
- Run baking soda and vinegar or an enzymatic drain cleaner (NOT corrosive liquid plumber products) down your drains once a month.
