Many homeowners don’t turn to professional drain cleaning until they have a plumbing problem. Some homeowners may not know that there are other reasons you may need your drains professionally cleaned.
Our Hi-Tech Plumbing & Leak Detect team wants to help all homeowners know when to call us for professional drain cleaning.
5 Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
Like most home appliances, it is good to practice prevention measures before something wrong happens. It is always better to be proactive about keeping your house in good order. Here are five signs you should call us for preventive drain cleaning.
Foul Odors
When everything runs smoothly, your sewage and waste will go directly to the sewer line. If your drains are clogged, the sewage will sit in the pipes, and the smell will come up. If you notice an unfavorable smell coming from your drains, it may be time to schedule an inspection with us.
Fruit Flies
Fruit flies are those pesky small flies that gather around rotten food. Food debris caught in your drain will attract fruit flies. By getting your sink drain professionally cleaned, these pesky flies will go away.
Standing Water
Standing water can appear in your sinks or showers, and usually means your drain is completely clogged. Clogged drains are a definite sign you require professional drain cleaning.
Slow Drainage
If water drains slower than usual in your bathroom or sink, your drain may have built-up debris. Left untreated buildup can turn into a clogged drain that may require more maintenance. Call us today to schedule a professional drain cleaning service.
Odd Sounds
If you hear a gurgling sound coming from your drain, you have a clogged drain. A blockage is producing the gurgling noise in your pipes. If the sound comes from multiple drains, this could mean a more significant problem, such as a broken pipe.
Odd sounds coming from drains should always be a sign to give a call to come and inspect your plumbing system.
What Happens When Clogged Drain Goes Untreated?
Clogged drains can turn into a more costly issue if it goes untreated. They will turn into backups that will then cause flooding in your home. When your home floods, it can create severe structural damage. Our number one recommendation for any homeowner is: schedule regular services.
Why You Should Receive Regular Drain Clearing
Regular professional drain cleaning will help you prevent blockages and help remove odd smells, while standard services will also make your home cleaner. As a bonus, regular drain services will help you save money. Many drainage issues that can be prevented with drain cleaning may be more costly than a simple drainage cleaning.
This is why we always recommend receiving at least one regular drain cleaning throughout the year.
