Recognizing and Clearing Obstructed Drains

Red Flags

To recognize the symptoms of a clogged drain, you don't have to be an expert in plumbing. The following are some typical signs that your drain is clogged or about to get clogged:

• Water accumulating in sinks or backing up
• Toilet water gurgling loudly
• Noises coming from the sewers
• Bad odors coming from the kitchen sink
• smells coming from sewers

DIY Solutions

Begin by turning on your faucet and letting water fill the sink partially. If you have a double sink, block one drain. Use a cup plunger on the open drain to loosen the clog. For clogged shower drains, a drain snake or a safe drain cleaner designed for hair and debris can be effective.

If DIY methods don’t work, it’s time to call Mr. Rooter Plumbing for professional inspection and unclogging.

Don’t Wait To Unclog Your Drains

Clogged or slow drains shouldn’t be ignored. The longer you wait, the worse the problem can become, leading to more severe damage and costly repairs.

Ignoring clogs can result in debris buildup, such as grease, hair, and rust, causing corrosion and damage to your pipes. Routine maintenance is essential to avoid these issues. Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing to learn about our maintenance plans designed to keep your drains clear and your plumbing trouble-free.
