Signs You Might Need Drain Repair

Drain clogs happen all the time. So how can you tell when it’s time for professional drain repair? Here are a few common signs to look for that could indicate that your drain needs to be repaired.

  • Bad smells: One common indicator that drain service is needed is the presence of bad smells. This often means that your pipes are clogged with a material that has stimulated bacterial growth.
  • Frequent clogs and slow drainage: With clogs, you’ll soon discover that your drain isn’t doing what it’s supposed to. Expert clogged drain repair will resolve the issue right away.
  • Pests: Rodents can damage drainpipes, and insects can colonize in damaged pipes. If you notice bugs crawling up from a drain, it’s time to schedule a repair.
  • Gurgling noises: Gurgling is caused by water not being able to freely move through your drain or the pipes. This could be as simple as blockage, or it could be a more serious issue with the pipes restricting the flow of water.
  • Waste backup: Your drain not functioning properly will often result in water or waste backing up as it can’t drain out like it’s supposed to. This can result in damage to your home if it goes unrepaired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does boiling water help a clogged drain?

Boiling water, by itself, probably won’t do much to help your clogged drains. If you add baking soda and vinegar to the drain before rinsing with hot water, you might be able to bust up some minor clogs. However, the more serious your clog is, the more likely it is you’ll need a trained professional’s assistance.

What causes bad smells from drains?

In most cases, drain smells result from bacterial growth in drains or pipes. Other possible causes include rotting food chunks in kitchen sink drains, dry p-traps, and dirty garbage disposals.

Can hard water cause slow draining and pipe damage?

Hard water minerals build up in waste pipes and will eventually lead to clogging and even damage your pipes to the point where they will have to be replaced. The minerals also mix with substances like soap scum and other materials to further clog pipes.
