Clogged Drain Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
Clogged drains can be more challenging to identify than you might assume. People tend to spot a clog when their sink’s water flow stops, and it backs up. However, this clear sign is only one of many, indicating a drain cleaning is necessary. You should watch for several other signs to know when your drains have any blockage. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Fort McMurray strongly urges you to reach out to our service professionals for a drain assessment and resolution whenever any of the following signs affect your drain:
- Slow-draining and gurgling sinks
- Backed-up toilets
- Foul smells coming from your drains
- Bubbling noises originating from your toilets
- Water puddles forming around bathtubs, showers, sinks, and laundry appliances
What Drains Are in My Home?
All the drains in your home have one function, and Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Fort McMurray has training and experience resolving all issues affecting residential drains. Each drain can develop a clog because of one or more of many factors. You typically need a service professional with plumbing expertise to determine the best solution. Below, you can read through examples of drains you find in your home and why they clog:
- Bathroom Drains – Toothpaste, soap, and hair are the most common bathroom drain clog culprits. Simple drain covers installed over your shower drain will collect loose hairs washing out while you shower. You can also run hot water while brushing your teeth to keep toothpaste from hardening in your pipes.
- Kitchen Drains – Oil, grease, and bits of food typically build up and clog kitchen drains. These elements go down your drain and may be collected every time you clean your kitchen after a meal. Some of the worst elements are oil and grease because they stick inside your pipes and harden. Garbage disposals can help prevent material buildup, but you should never wash specific foods down your drain if you can avoid them, including bones, meat, and fibrous vegetables.
- Floor Drains – Dust, dirt, and leaves are common materials that can build up and block your floor drains. These drains are common plumbing features in basements, garages, and laundry rooms. A clog in your floor drain can lead to floor damage. While you don’t typically see these drains every day, you should still clean them regularly to prevent clogs and damage.
Clog-Clearing Methods You Can Try at Home
Determining if your sink has drainage issues is one of the best places to start when deciding if it has a clog. If your drain is clogged, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Fort McMurray can clear it. However, you can try a couple of simple DIY methods to resolve a clog before reaching out to us:
- If there’s still some water movement in your drain, heat a kettle or pot of water while letting it drain. Boiled water is highly effective at clearing clogs composed of hardened fats and oil. After your drain has drained most or all the water, carefully pour the kettle of hot water into it. You should also schedule routine inspections and cleanings if you have any issues with your pipes draining effectively.
- Another effective way to remove clogs from your drains is using a plunger and drain snake. Bring the clog near the top of your drain using a smaller and easier-to-manage sink plunger. After plunging, use a drain snake to pull the material from your pipe. You should never flush the clogged material back down the pipe you cleared. Instead, we advise you to throw it away in your trash.
- Contacting our service professionals is your next step if your clog persists. Clogs too deep in your system aren’t resolvable with an average drain snake, such as clogs from invasive tree roots. You need a professional to perform more extensive solutions for this clog type.
