How Drains Work and Why They’re Important
The Signs of a Clogged Drain
When water stops flowing down your drain, you know you have a clog or some form of blockage. However, it is not always that obvious. Sometimes the sign of a clogged drain is elusive and subtle. Even if your drains are still flowing, there are some ways to know you have a clog forming. If you call for professional help at the earliest sign of a clog, you won’t have to deal with the hassle and headache of a completely clogged drain. Some of the signs of a clogged drain include:
- Foul smells coming from your drains
- Backed-up toilets or drains
- Gurgling and bubbling sounds coming from toilets and drains
- Sinks and bathtubs that drain slower than they fill up
- Soggy sections of your yard
- Water on the floor near laundry appliances, sinks, bathtubs, or showers
We Can Clean All the Drains in Your Home
Not all drains are designed in the same way. A clogged sink needs to be handled differently than a clogged bathtub or floor drain. That is one of the many reasons savvy homeowners call a team of service professionals like Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Boise for drain cleaning services. Our team can clear clogs in any drain in your home, including:
- Bathroom Drains – The drains in your bathroom deal with soap, hair, toothpaste, and many clog-forming materials. Installing drain covers can prevent hair-related clogs, and running hot water after brushing your teeth can stop toothpaste from hardening in your pipes.
- Kitchen Drains – Oil, grease, and pieces of food are common sources of clogs in kitchen sinks. Oil and grease are especially tough types of clogs because they harden within the pipes and cannot be easily washed away by water.
- Floor Drains – Floor drains prevent flooding, but they can get clogged with all the filth that has accumulated on your garage and basement floor. These are some of the most commonly neglected drains. Routine maintenance is one of the best ways to keep them flowing freely.
Tips for Breaking Up Clogs
When you have a clogged drain, it is always best to call the experts. However, we realize that sometimes you need to get your drain flowing right away. In those cases, you can try a few methods at home. We do not recommend using the clogged pipe drain cleaners you might find at your local hardware store because they can damage your pipes. Also, none of these methods is a substitute for Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Boise’s drain cleaning services because we will eliminate the clog completely. If you need to get your drains flowing again, you can try the following steps:
- Boiling water can break up clogs created by grease and oil. Let your sink empty as much as possible, then pour a pot of boiling water into it. You may need to repeat this process a few times to get your drain flowing freely.
- A plumbing plunger and snake can pull tough clogs out of your drain. Use the plunger to suction the clog closer to the opening of the drain. Then, insert the snake and use it to pull the obstruction out one piece at a time. Throw the material you retrieve in the trash. Do not attempt to flush it down the drain or put it in your garbage disposal.
- Whether or not these tricks get your drains flowing again, call a team of service professionals who know how to clear clogs. If your drains are still clogged after these attempts, you are likely dealing with an especially severe obstruction that needs immediate attention.
