Indications of a Clogged Drainpipe: Slow Drains

One of the most apparent signs of obstruction is sluggish drains pipes. If you observe water remaining in your sinks, bathtubs, and showers, something may be obstructing the pipes.

With time, drains accumulate hair, soap, as well as scum. The materials accumulate and over time will obstruct the water flow. The obstruction prevents water from easily moving with your pipes, creating drainage problems.

The longer the water remains in your sinks and bathtubs, the more trouble it causes. The blocked drain can result in drain flies that feast on the material within the drains. While the flies aren't harmful, they lug germs as they breed in stagnant water.

Indicators of a Clogged Drainpipe: Foul Scents

Sometimes drain scents come from food particles or the garbage disposal. But if you are observing that the scents are becoming a lot more regular, you can have an accumulation of food, sewer, or cooking oils in your major pipe system.

As a general rule, food should never be dropped in your drain, that is unless you have a garbage disposal. Avoid putting products such as grease, eggshells, coffee grinds, or vegetable cuttings, directly in your drain

If you have already done this, you may want to consider hiring a professional to help clear these out.

Multiple Blocked Drains

Sometimes you can scent drainpipe troubles prior to you see them. As the blocked products rot in your pipelines, they create unpleasant smells. If you follow your nose, it will certainly lead you to the damaged drainpipe.

Obstructed drains pipes develop musty smells, similar to a sewer. The odors are most prominent around drain covers. The scent will get worse when the faucet is turned on. Appropriate drain cleaning upkeep will certainly leave your pipelines tidy and eliminate any type of nasty odors in your house.

Signs of a Clogged Drain: Unusual Smells

It's not uncommon for your pipes to make noise from time to time, but homeowners should identify the sounds to know if there is a problem.

Gurgling noises from drains, pipes, and toilets are early signs of a plumbing problem. When drains are clogged, air trapped in the pipes push through the plumbing fixtures and create gurgling sounds. If you notice these noises, your drain is blocked.

Signs of a Clogged Drain: Frequent Clogs

Frequent clogs in toilets and sinks are a cause for concern. Regular toilet backups, gurgling noises, and slow drainage are signs of tree roots in your drain or sewer line.

Tree roots can grow towards your pipes and create a blockage. Once the roots reach your drain pipes, they coil around and crush them. That's why property owners are advised to plant large trees 20 to 30 feet from their plumbing systems.

Should You Call a Professional?

It might seem easier to take matters into your own hands but leave drain and sewer cleaning to the professionals. DIY methods offer short-term results. Home remedies may seem to work, but, instead, make the problem worse.

Many people don't realize the severity of their clog without professional equipment, so the blockage continues to cause structural damage to your pipeline.

Homemade mixtures or chemical cleaners strip the interior lining of your pipes, making your plumbing system weaker. Using a plumbing snake without a professional technician can tear away enamel in your sink, toilet, or bathtub.
