Expert Clogged Drain Repair in Lansing

Clogged drains can cause a variety of symptoms that indicate something is wrong. Being aware of these warning signs can help you identify clogs and act quickly before the problem becomes worse.

The following are some of the most common warning signs of a clogged drain:

• Unpleasant Odors: Built-up debris in your pipes, such as grease, hair, and rotting food, can cause unpleasant odors around sinks and other drains. Sewage can also cause these odors if there is a serious clog.
• Gurgling Sounds: When water flows through pipes, it typically produces a consistent sound as it moves through the pipes. If there’s an obstruction or build-up in the line, it will create gurgling noises that may come from any plumbing fixture connected to that line.
• Slow Draining: It's normal for drains to take a few seconds for water to completely pass through, but if it takes longer than usual, this could be an indication that the pipe is blocked by debris or other materials like grease or soap scum.
• Pooling Water: Pooling water near sinks and bathtubs can be another telltale sign of a clog. If it takes longer than normal for the standing water to disappear after draining, there may be an obstruction in your line causing a backup.
