Do I Have a Clogged Drain?

Have you ever had a clogged drain line catch you by surprise at the most inappropriate or inconvenient time? Leaving you in a state of stress or panic, wondering what to do to fix it? Your home’s internal drainage system is used anytime you flush a toilet, wash your hands, run your dishwasher, do a load of laundry, take a shower, etc. Most homeowners take this system for granted until that unexpected ‘surprise’ occurs, leaving you in a state of stress. Listed below you will find some initial indicators that may help you identify a clog or compromise that may be looming on the horizon:

• Water/Sewage Backup – if you find excess water/waste coming up in a drain line versus going down it, then you most likely have an obstruction effecting your plumbing system.
• Noises – gurgling drains are another early indicator of a looming clog. The gurgling noise is created by air being forced through water in your drain trap, or due to improper ventilation of a particular drain line.
• Slowly Operating Drains – the general buildup of grease, fats, soap, hair, and other debris and/or abuse can lead to a slow operating drain. Routine maintenance of your drain lines does help prevent these issues from transpiring, but important to note that a slow operating drain is likely soon to be a non-operating drain line if not properly attended to.
• Bad Odors – unique smells and odors arising from a drain could be an indication of a clog stuck in the line, a dried-out trap, or potentially even an unwelcome pest or rodent whose remains are stuck in the line.
• Frequent Clogs – several clogged drains within a short period of time could indicate or help identify that a lingering problem exists in your plumbing system that is leading to these frequent issues.
