The 5 Most Common Drain Issues We See
- The number one issue we face with drains is slow-draining sinks, tubs, or showers. Bathroom drains, whether at home or work, have a bad habit of collecting junk, and you need to clean them regularly to work efficiently. A slow drain will not clean as effectively, causing issues for those using those bathroom utilities for sanitary purposes. Slow drains, if not dealt with quickly, will soon become blockages and clogs.
- Complete blockages and clogs are the second most common drain issue. When drains are not maintained, they will eventually slow down and stop. When they become completely blocked, the sinks, tubs, and other places you find them cease functioning and become harbors of harmful microorganisms.
- As drains slow and begin to stop, you will often notice foul odors emanating from them. These fumes usually come from backups in the drain plumbing and can also come from problems further down the sewer line. Those foul odors are a sign that something unhealthy is present in that area of your home or workplace, and you should seek professional plumbing help to remedy the situation immediately to prevent further discomfort, harm, and loss of business.
- Along with the foul odors, you will sometimes hear gurgling sounds from the drains, occasionally followed by water backup. These signs, mainly when they occur regularly, indicate that you have plumbing problems associated with your drains. Further delays could cause permanent and expensive damage to your drains and total plumbing system and may put your health at risk.
- The final sign that your drains have problems is the presence of fruit flies or other pests in and near them. These creatures flourish around the microorganisms that grow from backed-up waste and garbage collected in our drains. They follow the smells that disgust us and feed and multiply in those places. If you notice these pests around your home or workplace, call our professional plumbers before spending money on an exterminator who cannot address the root problem.
What Causes Drain Problems?
Bathroom catch hair and soap scum over time, which builds up and eventually causes drain blockage. Another culprit of bathroom plumbing blockage is personal care products, often flushed down toilets or lost down sink drains. These can cause significant problems with your water flow since many of them will not dissolve over time.
Kitchen drains become blocked over time due to food debris and grease buildup. Many of these blockages can be prevented by cleaning plates in the garbage before washing them or by using a good drain strainer. These can help keep out buildup in any sink drain in the house. They will also prevent larger objects from accidentally falling down the drain and causing blockages.
Mineral deposits and hard water can also cause buildup and blockages over time. These occur naturally from the water that flows through your plumbing. Water softeners and regular drain cleaning can help with these problems and keep your drains clean.
Benefits of Regular Drain Cleaning
To prevent drain blockage, the best thing you can do is maintain your plumbing regularly. Preventive maintenance will improve drainage speed and efficiency and reduce your risk of clogs and backups. Regular maintenance will also keep the presence of foul odors away from your home or business and protect you from the many health risks connected with drain problems. Preventive maintenance will protect you against pipe corrosion and pipe leaks and will extend the overall life span of your plumbing.
