Water backup or slow draining.
Your water should never be backed up in your sinks or shower. This can be a health concern due to the bacteria and other debris that could be in that water. If you notice water slowly draining after a shower or doing the dishes, we can help. Our drain cleaning services can remove the blockage, putting an end to water backup that poses a threat to your health and your plumbing system.
Putrid odor.
A bad odor coming from your drains is never a good sign. In most cases, this is caused by a build-up of food waste, especially if you have a garbage disposal. In other cases, it could be an issue with your sewage line. It is important to have a professional come in who can accurately determine the source of the smell and provide the permanent solutions you need.
Gurgling noises.
If you notice a strange gurgle as water moves through your system, this is another indication of a potential blockage that needs to be addressed.
What Causes Drain Issues?
Your drains can become clogged due to situations both in and out of your control. Some of the most common sources of drain issues include:
Food waste.
If you have a garbage disposal, you know the great benefits of this little appliance. However, it is important to be mindful of what food can and can’t be put into a disposal. Certain foods can cling to your disposal, or clump together. This can create a blockage that creates an unpleasant odor.
Hair and soap residue.
Your shower drain can become blocked due to hair from washing and shaving. Soap residue can also build up, leading to a slow draining shower. It is important to have your drains cleaned in this situation to ensure the hair hasn’t simply moved down further.
Non-flushable products.
This includes baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, and other materials that are not expressly allowed for flushing.
