Does Your Plumbing Need Drain Cleaning?

Here’s how you can tell if your plumbing in Brandon, MS needs a good cleaning:

One: Slow Drainage

Drain clogs are the single biggest issue that you are likely to face when it comes to your drain and sewer system. Clogs often form slowly as waste builds-up on the drainpipe walls. As the clog builds towards the center of the pipe, it will restrict the flow of water more and more, leaving you with slow drains. If you notice that one of your drains is draining more slowly than it normally does, it is likely that you’ve got a clog that needs clearing.

Two: Yuck! What’s That Smell?

This is a symptom most common in kitchen drains, which have to deal with quite a bit of food waste going down them. If you notice that any of your drains are particularly stinky, it’s likely that there is a waste build-up in the pipe. Fortunately, a professional plumber should be able to rid your drain of the odor by properly cleaning it out.

(Note: If more than one drain is smelly, you’ve likely got a problem deep within your sewer system, in which case, different services are needed.)

Three: Gurgling Sounds

If you hear gurgling when using our bathtub or sink, it’s likely that your drain has collected too much dirt and grease. This type of obstruction can create air bubbles, thus leading to the gurgling noise that you are hearing. Once the drain has been cleared, water and air can move freely down it without creating any extra noises.

Four: Multiple Clogs

If multiple drains around your home seem prone to clogs, it is possible that your entire system is in need of a good cleaning. However, it is more likely that the answer is that you’ve got a clog in your main sewer line. If this is the case, the best thing you can do is call in a professional!

Five: Standing Water or Standing in Water

If your bathtub looks more like a swamp than it does a bathtub long after you’ve finished bathing, it is likely that you are in need of drain cleaning services. Standing water in your tub is often the result of hair that has tangled and formed a clog.
