Signs Your Drain Has a Clog
Clogged drains aren’t as easy to identify as you might assume. People commonly realize they have a problem when water flow stops and they get sink backups, but a clogged drain can exhibit several other signs telling you it needs professional cleaning. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Wheelersburg urges homeowners to contact our service professionals to assess and resolve your slow drain, a backed-up toilet, and other issues whenever any of the following signs develop:
- Bad odors coming from drains
- Slow-draining and gurgling sinks
- Toilets making bubbling noises
- Backed-up toilets
- Water puddles showing up on the floor by your sinks, showers, bathtubs, or laundry appliances
What Drains Are in My Home?
All your home’s drains have one simple job to do, and Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Wheelersburg’s service professionals have in-depth expertise in every issue a residential drain may experience. Drains can develop clogs for many reasons, so you need a seasoned service professional to find the best solution. Below are examples of drains you’ll find in your home and some common reasons they clog:
- Bathroom Drains – A household’s typical bathroom drain clog culprits include hair, soap, and toothpaste. Simple drain covers placed over your tub or shower drain will collect your loose hairs washing out while you bathe. You can also run hot water from your sink faucet while brushing your teeth to prevent toothpaste from hardening in your pipes.
- Kitchen Drains – The main culprits causing kitchen drain clogs include grease, oil, and bits of food. When cleaning your kitchen following any meal, you typically wash these elements down your drain while washing dishes. Oil and grease are incredibly problematic since they harden and build up on your pipe walls. A garbage disposal can decrease your chance of these materials developing into clogs, but we strongly recommend never washing specific waste materials down your drain, such as bones, meat, and fibrous vegetables.
- Floor Drains – Dust, dirt, and leaves are common floor drain-clogging materials. Your basement, garage, or laundry room may have this drain type to prevent water buildup. A clogged floor drain can cause floor damage because of water collecting and ruining various flooring materials. These drains may typically be out of sight, be we advise homeowners to clean them regularly to reduce their risk of clogs.
Helpful Advice to Resolve Your Clogged Drain
One of the best ways to determine if you have a clogged drain is to start by figuring out if your sink drains at all. If one of your drains has a clog, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Wheelersburg recommends attempting a couple of DIY solutions listed below before contacting us:
- Heat up a pot or kettle of water until it boils while letting your sink drain if there is still any water movement. Boiling hot water very effectively resolves clogs consisting of hardened fats and oils. Carefully pour the kettle of hot water into your drain after letting most or all the water go down the drain. You can also ensure your pipes drain optimally by scheduling routine cleanings and inspections.
- Using a plunger and drain snake is another DIY method to get rid of clogs. You can pull a clog near your drain’s opening with a smaller and easier-to-manage sink plunger and then pull out the obstructive material using a drain snake. We advise you never to flush the material down the pipe. Instead, you should throw away the clogged material in your trash.
- If neither of the above methods clears your drain, your next step is to call a service professional to perform professional clog-clearing services. Clogs that are too deep, such as tree roots infiltrating and clogging your pipes, aren’t resolvable with an average drain snake. You need more extensive plumbing solutions from a trained and experienced professional to clear this clog type.
