How to Tell When a Drain Requires Proper Cleaning

One of the most noticeable signs that a drain is clogged or dirty is when the water runs slowly. If there is a blockage in the plumbing system, it will gradually cut off the water flow. When a pipe has difficulty draining, it can lead to other issues. For example, a line that has been compromised can leak or even burst. Looking for signs that a pipe needs to be cleaned can help prevent further issues. 

There are several indications that professional drain cleaning is necessary, including:

• Odd sounds from the drains, including clanging, groaning, rushing, or hammering
• Backup in sinks, showers, tubs, or toilets
• An increase of pests like mosquitoes, cockroaches, mice, or ants 
• Slower sink or shower draining
• Bubbling and gurgling in the sink
• Multiple clogs in the sink, shower, or toilet

Don’t Rely on Store-Bought Drain Cleaners

Understandably, any homeowner who notices that their drain is dirty or clogged will want the problem to be fixed rapidly. It is easy to assume that purchasing a drain cleaner is the best and fastest option. Rather than stopping by the local pharmacy or hardware store, however, homeowners should immediately speak to plumbing professionals — most generic drain cleaners do not fix the issue. 

In many cases, the chemicals in cleaners will eat away at the interior lining of a drain. This makes the drain even more susceptible to clogging in the future. Even if the drain does not get eroded this time, the cleaner will only provide a temporary solution. A surer means of resolving the problem is seeking the help of plumbing experts from the very beginning.
