You probably clean your floors and bathroom regularly, but it’s not common for homeowners to tackle drain cleaning until something happens. While maintaining your drains is a key way to mitigate the potential for clogs, eventually, you will likely need to call a plumber to keep everything running smoothly. Below, All Star Rooter, Sewer and Drain Cleaning in Fairfield and New Haven County, CT, shares three signs homeowners should watch for as indications they need to hire drain cleaning services to avoid a plumbing emergency.

You May Need Drain Cleaning Services If You Spot These 3 Signs

1. Slow Draining

drain cleaningWhen you brush your teeth in the bathroom sink, the water should go down the drain as fast as it’s coming out of the faucet. If the water has time to build up, it may leave discoloration in your sink as it slowly drains. This can happen in your bathtub, shower, or washing machine, too, and is typically an indication that you need drain cleaning.

2. Backup

When you turn on your washing machine to tackle a load of laundry, does water back up into the basement drain or a bathroom sink? This may mean a drain line in your system is clogged, misdirecting water to a different part of your home. To address the backup, schedule a drain cleaning. Professional plumbers will assess the problem and remove the clog so that you can do that load of laundry without fear that the water will cause issues in another part of your home.

3. Bad Odors

Drains that are clean and clear should not smell like anything. However, if you notice a bad smell around an area with a drain such as the basement, your garage, or even the kitchen sink, it’s possible that there is some buildup. Hairs and food particles are common causes of this odor, and a drain cleaning can remove the offending material and make it easier to breathe in your home.

Whether you’re facing a slow-draining issue, a backed-up sink or bad smells, drain cleaning can likely help the situation.
