When water stops flowing down your drain, you know you have a clog or some form of blockage. However, it is not always that obvious. Sometimes the sign of a clogged drain is elusive and subtle. Even if your drains are still flowing, there are some ways to know you have a clog forming. If you call for professional help at the earliest sign of a clog, you won’t have to deal with the hassle and headache of a completely clogged drain. Some of the signs of a clogged drain include:
- Foul smells coming from your drains
- Backed-up toilets or drains
- Gurgling and bubbling sounds coming from toilets and drains
- Sinks and bathtubs that drain slower than they fill up
- Soggy sections of your yard
- Water on the floor near laundry appliances, sinks, bathtubs, or showers
We Can Clean All the Drains in Your Home
Not all drains are designed in the same way. A clogged sink needs to be handled differently than a clogged bathtub or floor drain. That is one of the many reasons savvy homeowners call a team of service professionals like Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Boise for drain cleaning services. Our team can clear clogs in any drain in your home, including:
- Bathroom Drains – The drains in your bathroom deal with soap, hair, toothpaste, and many clog-forming materials. Installing drain covers can prevent hair-related clogs, and running hot water after brushing your teeth can stop toothpaste from hardening in your pipes.
- Kitchen Drains – Oil, grease, and pieces of food are common sources of clogs in kitchen sinks. Oil and grease are especially tough types of clogs because they harden within the pipes and cannot be easily washed away by water.
- Floor Drains – Floor drains prevent flooding, but they can get clogged with all the filth that has accumulated on your garage and basement floor. These are some of the most commonly neglected drains. Routine maintenance is one of the best ways to keep them flowing freely.
