FAQs
What are the common signs of a clogged drain?
Common signs of a clogged drain include water draining slowly, water pooling around a drain, unpleasant odors coming from the drain, strange gurgling noises, and, in severe cases, water backing up from the drain.
What causes drains to clog?
Drains can become clogged due to a variety of factors including the buildup of soap, grease, hair, or food particles. Foreign objects like wipes or sanitary products flushed down the toilet, tree root intrusions, and the buildup of minerals from hard water can also cause blockages.
How can I prevent my drains from clogging?
Prevent clogs by regularly cleaning drains using safe cleaning agents, avoiding pouring grease or oil down the drain, using a strainer or screen to catch hair and food particles, and flushing drains with hot water periodically. Also, be cautious about what gets flushed down the toilet.
When should I call a professional plumber for a clogged drain?
Call a professional plumber if you experience repeated clogs, slow drainage that doesn’t improve, sewage backups, multiple drains clogging simultaneously, or if the clog is deep within your plumbing system and requires specialized tools to remove.
What tools and techniques do plumbers use to unclog drains?
Plumbers use several tools and techniques such as a plunger, drain snake (or auger), hydro jetting, and camera inspections. Each method has its application based on the severity and location of the clog, ensuring safe and efficient cleaning of the drainage system.
Is chemical drain cleaner a good solution for clogged drains?
While chemical drain cleaners can be effective for minor clogs, they can also damage pipes over time and pose safety risks to users and the environment. It’s often better to use mechanical methods like plungers or call a professional for stubborn or recurring clogs.
