Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF CLOGGED DRAINS?
A number of signs can indicate a clogged drain. If water is draining slowly in your sinks and tubs, something may be clogging the pipes. Similarly, if you flush the toilet and water backs up into your sinks or tubs, a blockage may be preventing the sewer water from leaving the house.
In some cases, you may hear excessive gurgling in your pipes. Additionally, you may notice bad odors. The odors can come from rodents stuck in the pipes or other rotting biological materials such as hair or food.
CAN YOU GET RID OF CLOGS ON YOUR OWN?
If you notice any of the above issues, you can try to remedy the situation yourself. You can buy liquid clog removers at most hardware and even some grocery stores. You simply pour these cleaners down the drain, and they essential eat or break down the clog.
However, you need to be careful. Commercial drain cleaners can irritate your skin and eyes. They can also damage your drains or pipes in some cases. Finally, if you decide to use a clog remover, make sure that you check the manufacturer’s instructions. Most products can only be used in sinks or tubs and not in toilets.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL THE PROFESSIONALS?
Ideally, if you’re having any of the issues listed above, you should call a drain cleaning company as soon as possible. These professionals can find the clog and clean your drains for you. If you ignore the clog, sewage may spill out into your home, leading to expensive cleanup and repairs.
If you’re trying to solve the issue on your own with clog remover, pay attention to how much you use. If you are using that product on a regular basis, your drains need professional help.
