How Often Should I Have My Drains Professionally Cleaned?
Keeping your drains and pipes in good working order is an important part of a healthy home. All homes should have their drains professionally cleaned at least once per year to keep them flowing freely and to prevent clogs from forming. However, if you find yourself reaching out to call a plumber more often than once per year due to annoying drain clogs, it is likely that drain cleaning needs to be increased to every six months - or even more. Having your drain system cleaned regularly will save you money by avoiding expensive and inconvenient repairs caused by backed-up drains. If you're unsure how many times you should have your drain lines professionally cleaned, don't hesitate to contact your local plumbers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Austin.
Austin’s Unpredictable Weather Problem
By many meteorological classifications, Austin is actually on the southern edge of Tornado Alley. Although seeing a tornado in the region is thankfully rare, thunderstorms are not. Looking at the history of the region’s weather and precipitation, it becomes clear that it is not easy to predict when rain will fall in sheets over Austin.
To stay ahead of rough weather, you should schedule a drain cleaning service from Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Austin as soon as you see a drainage problem on your property. Otherwise, you could get blindsided by a thunderstorm that causes your property to flood due to a clogged drain.
Is Your Drain Clogged? How to Tell
A badly clogged drain will take forever to drain away even small amounts of water. Basically, turning on the faucet over a clogged or dirty drain will result in near-immediate pooling in the basin. However, there is no guarantee that the clogs around your property will be as obvious. In many situations, clogs form but are not quite as noticeable.
What should you look for if you suspect a drain is clogging?
- Water on the ground: Oftentimes, a clogged drain will be accompanied by drain damage or defects that allow for small leaks. After using a plumbing appliance, like a sink, toilet, or tub, check the ground nearby for any unexplained puddles or drops of water. They might be the first sign that the drain has a problem.
- Bubbling sounds: Running a faucet should only produce the sound of running water. If you hear bubbling as water runs down the drain, it is indicative of a forming clog. The water that flows away hits the clog, swirls around, and pools momentarily before washing away. It is this unusual flow that causes the bubbling sound.
- Foul odors: Your nose can also help you find a clog in your plumbing. Clogs are often accompanied by foul stenches caused by stale water combined with the clog itself starting to decompose. If you smell something unpleasant whenever you use a certain sink in your home, for example, then there is almost certainly a clog down its drain.
