Having clogged drains can be a major inconvenience in your Springfield, IL home. From the kitchen and bathroom to the basement, your drainage system ensures waste is removed quickly and water flows smoothly. Dirty pipes can lead to clogged drains and foul odors. Examining your system and scheduling routine cleanings will help you keep your plumbing in good condition. These signs will help you identify when it’s time for a drain cleaning so you can maintain a happy, healthy home.
Slow or Clogged Drains
Whether it’s your bathtub or sink, your drains should enable fast and efficient water flow. If your drains are removing water slowly or failing to remove water entirely, your pipes might be clogged. Additionally, clogged, dirty drains can result in discolored waste coming through your pipes. When your drains struggle to remove waste water, there could be an obstruction that needs to be cleared.
Foul Odors
An unpleasant smell is a noticeable sign that your drains need to be cleaned. Dirty or blocked pipes will cause a buildup of biological growth in your drains. A drain cleaning is essential to prevent and remove this buildup. If you’re smelling sewage in your home, you may be facing drainage issues. A thorough cleaning by one of our professionals is your best fix!
Gurgling Sounds
Do you hear any gurgling or bubbling sounds when you turn on the shower? If you notice any unusual noises when your drains are in use, it may be time for a cleaning. A clogged drain forces water through narrow spaces, causing strange sounds. Also, blocked drains can cause damaged and leaking pipes, leading to costly repairs. Regular cleanings will keep your drains in optimal condition.
