You have poured grease or fat down the sink:
As above - anything that is not liquid being poured down your sink is going to cause a problem, and while grease, oil, or any other sort of fat may be liquid at the point of flushing it away, it will solidify in your pipes. You might be lucky enough for it to avoid your drains, although unlikely if you are regularly doing it, but it is going to cause a problem further down the line. ‘Fatbergs’ - giant lumps of floating fat are a considerable problem in sewers and can affect a whole lot of businesses and households.
You have young children living in your house:
Children love to put things inside things. How many times have you found your television remote inside the toybox or your bunch of keys inside their toy oven? Well, just think about how many things have been put down your toilet and flushed away by your child without realizing it? It is probably where those missing earrings or that lipstick you thought you had lost months ago has gone. Drain cleaning throws up lots of interesting things that have been put down the toilet by little hands.
You have guests unfamiliar with your drainage system:
Different countries have different guidelines on what can be flushed or poured away. Some countries cannot process anything other than human waste, and toilet paper has to be thrown into the bin. Some people have waste disposers built into their sinks. If you have guests that may be unfamiliar with your drainage system, it may be worth having a drain cleaning done once they have gone to be sure.
You have just moved into the property:
While you may know what can and cannot go down the toilet and sink, the previous owners or tenants of your home or business property may not be as clued up. It is always worth a quick clean out when you first move in to get rid of any issues because as they build up, they get a lot more complicated and a lot more expensive to sort out.
Your toilet is taking longer than it should to flush:
One of the first signs that something is not quite right and that your drain needs cleaning is that your toilet takes an age to flush. If there is nothing visible in your U-bend, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Regina to have a look and sort out the problems.
Water sits in your sink or bathtub for a long time before draining away:
This is another classic sign that something is not quite right and that you may need your drain cleaned. Get it sorted before it becomes a bigger problem.
You hear peculiar noises from your walls and under your floorboards:
Nope, you have not got monsters lurking - it’s your pipes. Noise does not necessarily mean that there is a problem, some pipes just like to be ‘talkative,’ but it can indicate that the pipes have narrowed or clogged up, giving the water less space to travel through.
There are unidentifiable bad odours in your bathroom and/or kitchen:
Once you have checked for all the usual suspects - food going bad and so on, check that the smell is not coming from your sink or an opening to a drain. If it is, there lies your problem - you need a drain clean.
You flush baby wipes or feminine hygiene products down the toilet:
Contrary to popular belief, these products should not be flushed down the toilet. Many manufacturers state that they are flushable, but this should be ignored - they will clog your drains and pipes.
