Common Causes of a Drain Blockage

The drains in your home are under constant use. Some drain clogs happen over time as hair, food scraps, and other debris gradually build up inside the drains. Other clogs happen suddenly, for example when someone in the house uses way too much toilet paper or drops an object down a drain that causes the drain to become blocked.

Household drains often become clogged with:

Coffee grounds
Food scraps
Grease or oil
Cotton balls and non-flushable wipes
Eggshells
Hair
Foreign objects dropped or flushed down drains

Regardless of what is blocking your drain, we can get it cleared. A drain problem may initially present as a slow drain. If you don’t address the problem quickly, the water may continue to drain slower and slower in the affected sink, shower, or tub. Eventually, it will become completely blocked and the pipe could be damaged. The best way to avoid this is to schedule Middletown drain cleaning when you first notice a problem.

Signs of a Clogged Drain

Are you wondering if your drains are in need of professional attention? Recognizing the signs of a clogged drain is essential to prevent plumbing disasters. Below, we've outlined key indicators that can help you identify when it's time to seek drain cleaning services.

Signs of a Clogged Drain:

Slow Drainage: Water taking longer than usual to drain from sinks, bathtubs, or showers is a common sign of a blockage.
Foul Odors: Unpleasant smells emanating from drains often result from trapped debris and gunk.
Gurgling Sounds: If you hear gurgling or bubbling noises when water is draining, it may indicate an obstruction.
Water Backups: Water backing up into sinks, toilets, or tubs when using other fixtures is a clear sign of a clog.
Standing Water: Puddles of water around drains suggest a blockage that prevents proper drainage.
Multiple Clogged Fixtures: If multiple fixtures in your home are experiencing drainage issues simultaneously, it's likely a main drain clog.

Don't wait until a minor clog turns into a major plumbing problem. If you notice any of these signs in your home, it's time to contact our professional drain cleaning services. We'll diagnose the issue and provide prompt solutions to keep your plumbing system running smoothly.
