We know that this sounds crazy, but things like hair, grease, grime, and other particles can all contribute to clogged drains, and without the right services, issues with your drain system can lead to all sorts of other problems! Therefore, it’s important that you invest in the services designed to keep your pipes clean and clear!<\/p>\n

Just by scheduling drain cleaning services on a regular basis with a licensed plumber in Lawrenceville, GA,<\/a> you can avoid issues altogether! Keep reading below to find out if it’s time to schedule your drain cleaning services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, Do You Need Your Drains Cleaned?<\/h2>\n

Here are some signs that suggest the time has come to schedule your drain cleaning services:<\/p>\n

1) Slow Drainage<\/h3>\n

Drain clogs are the single biggest issue that you are likely to face when it comes to your drain and sewer system.\u00a0 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\u2019ve got a clog that needs clearing.<\/p>\n

2) YUCK! What\u2019s That Smell?<\/h3>\n

This is a symptom most common in kitchen drains, which have to deal with quite a bit of food waste. If you notice that any of your drains are particularly stinky, it\u2019s 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\u00a0properly cleaning it out.<\/p>\n

(Note: If more than one drain is smelly, you\u2019ve likely got a problem deep within your sewer system, in which case, different services are needed.)<\/p>\n

3) Gurgling Sounds<\/h3>\n

If you hear gurgling when using your bathtub or sink, it\u2019s likely that your drain has collected too much dirt and grease. This type of obstruction can create air bubbles, thus leading 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.<\/p>\n

4) Multiple Clogs<\/h3>\n

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\u2019ve got a clog in your main sewer line. If this is the case, the best thing you can do is call in a professional!<\/p>\n

5) Standing Water or Standing in Water<\/h3>\n

If your bathtub looks more like a swamp than it does a bathtub long after you\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n
