    Drain Cleaning & Signs You May Need It

    We have all been there before; standing water up around our ankles in the shower. Or, you’re trying to brush your teeth and gross water is slowing filling up the sink. You don’t want to wait until the drain is completely clogged before taking care of it. Even if a small amount of water is passing through the drain, it needs to be taken care of very quickly. There could be underlying issues you are not aware of. Here are a few signs that may indicate its time for drain cleaning:

    1.  Accumulation of Standing Water

    A slow drain is definitely a sign of some sort of an issue. But, if you have standing water in your shower, sink or washing machine, your problem just got worse. If you can tell the water never drains, you will want to call a local plumber right away.

    2.  Slow Drains

    If you notice the water is draining more slowly down your sink or shower, there could be a problem. You will want to watch how slowing the water drains in your kitchen sink, shower and washing machine. If it seems extra sluggish, you could have a build up in your pipes. Most likely, you’ll need to schedule a plumber to come to your house for a drain cleaning. This will take care of any build up of grease and food debris. In addition, it will take care of any potential clogs.

    3.  Gurgling Noises

    If you have a drain that is clogged, the water will not move freely like before. It will have to push its way through small spaces around the debris. If you hear noises, especially bubbling or gurgling sounds when you turn on the sink or flush the toilet, you probably have a drain problem.

    4.  Unpleasant Smells

    Sewage and waste can build up in your pipes if they are not properly draining. The waste can sit in the pipes, and put off strong odors. The smells tend to be worse in the warmer months. If you smell any gas coming from your drains you will want to call a professional plumber right away.

    5. A Large Amount Of Fruit Flies

    Fruit flies are so annoying and they seem to just magically appear out of nowhere.  If there is a sudden increase of these pesky flies, they could be attracted to the build-up in your drain. This is especially true if you don’t have a bunch of ripe fruit out on your counters. A drain cleaning will most likely take care of the issue. Call a trusted plumber today for additional help to clean your pipes and rid your house of annoying fruit flies.
