Discover the Warning Signs of a Clogged Drain
Don't let a clogged drain turn into a major headache. By recognizing the signs early, you can save yourself from bigger problems in the future. Here are some common indications that you may be dealing with a clogged drain:
- Sink water backing up: If water starts to rise in your sink instead of draining smoothly, it's a sure sign of a clog.
- Standing water around shower drains: A pool of stagnant water near your shower drain is a red flag for a potential clog.
- Slow drainage after water pools: If water takes forever to drain, especially after pooling around the drain, there's likely an obstruction.
- Toilet water bubbling from sink use: Bubbling in your toilet when you use a different fixture could indicate plumbing issues.
- Gurgling sounds after using appliances: Strange noises coming from your drains suggest a problem in the pipes, especially after running the washing machine or dishwasher.
- Water pooling near bathtubs or sinks: If you notice water collecting on the floor around these fixtures, it may be a sign of drain pipe clogs.
- Foul smell from the kitchen sink: A rotting food odor coming from your kitchen sink could be caused by trapped debris in a clog.
- Sewage odor from drains: The unmistakable scent of sewage is a clear sign of a clogged sewer drain.
How to Clear a Clogged Drain on Your Own
Not every clogged drain requires professional help. Before calling a plumber, try these steps to clear a clogged kitchen sink or bathroom drain:
- Fill the sink partially with water: Turn on the faucet until the sink is partially filled with water.
- Plug one drain (for double kitchen sinks) or cover the overflow hole (for bathroom sinks) with a wet rag.
- Use a plunger on the open drain: Press down and pull up with a cup plunger, repeating the process several times to break up the clog.
- For shower drain clogs: If you're dealing with a shower drain clog, a drain snake or hair and debris removal cleaner will be more effective.
The Importance of Promptly Dealing With Drain Clogs
Don't underestimate the consequences of ignoring drain issues. The accumulation of debris like rust, hair, grease, and minerals can cause serious damage to your pipes.
Fortunately, Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Valdosta offers routine maintenance that can save you money in the long run. By preventing costly repairs or pipe replacements, our preventative maintenance keeps your plumbing free of frustrating clogs and ensures your home's plumbing system stays functional.

What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency
If your clog becomes a plumbing emergency, quick action is crucial. Start by turning off the shutoff valve specific to the problematic fixture to prevent water overflow.
For more serious emergencies or if you're unsure of what to do, locate and shut off your home's main shutoff valve.
