If you think you may have a problem with your drains, look out for some of these telltale signs:
Blocked Drain
If you have a drain that suddenly won’t drain and the water sort of sits on top of the plunger, this is a surefire sign that you need drain cleaning done on your drains. This could be a kitchen sink, bathroom sink, or even a tub/shower.
Slow Draining
If you notice that the water is going down, but it’s slower than it has been in the past, this is also a clear indication that you need drain cleaning. Drains can clog up with things like grease, debris, toothpaste, soap, and hair. If you don’t get the clog removed it can lead to other more serious plumbing issues.
Overflowing Toilets
This is another sign that you need drain cleaning. When this happens it’s usually because there is a blockage from either too much waste or a foreign object has been placed in the toilet and flushed down.
Unpleasant Smells
These are never a good thing, but if you notice them in your toilet after flushing or before using, in your garbage disposal or sink or anywhere else in the house, this could be a sign that you need drain cleaning services.
Strange Noises
Weird gurgling noises are another sign that something is wrong. If you hear odd noises like gurgling or sloshing, chances are the water is trying to go down the pipe but it can’t because of an obtrusion.
