LESSER-KNOWN SIGNS OF A CLOGGED DRAIN
Although a slow-draining sink or stagnant water are common signs of a clogged drain, several lesser-known indicators can help you identify and resolve drainage problems in a timely manner. Contact us at the first sign of these uncommon indications of a clogged drain.
UNPLEASANT ODOURS
An unpleasant smell from the sink, shower or bathtub that persists even after cleaning may indicate a clogged drain. Food particles, hair and soap scum trapped in the pipes can create a breeding ground for bacteria, releasing foul-smelling fumes.
GURGLING NOISES
If you hear gurgling noises coming from the drains when you flush the toilet or use a nearby sink, it could be due to a clog. In such cases, one might be tempted to carry out a cleaning to clear the clog. However, it is best to consult a professional for an optimal result.
FLUCTUATING WATER LEVELS IN TOILETS
If the water level in the toilet bowl seems inconsistent, rising or falling compared to usual after flushing, it usually indicates that the water is having difficulty flowing out due to an obstruction. It is best to contact a plumber for drain cleaning to confirm and solve the problem.
BUBBLES IN THE TOILET BOWL
When you run water in the sink or bathtub and notice bubbles in the toilet bowl, it could mean that air is being pushed back through the pipes due to an obstruction downstream.
WATER STAGNATION IN UNEXPECTED PLACES
If the use of one fixture causes water to stagnate in another apparently unconnected fixture, this cross-contamination suggests that a clog is blocking the main drainage line shared between them, necessitating drain cleaning services or perhaps even repairs.
