Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I notice a clog?
If you notice a clog, start by avoiding using the affected drain to prevent worsening the blockage. You can try using a plunger or a drain snake for minor clogs, but avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your pipes. If the clog persists or you see signs of a more serious problem like backups or foul odors, contact a professional sewer and drain service immediately to prevent further damage.
What is a drain snake, and how does it work?
A drain snake is a flexible auger used to reach deep into pipes and loosen or remove clogs that traditional plungers can’t handle. It’s especially useful for clearing hair, roots, and other obstructions
When should I call a professional instead of trying to snake the drain myself?
If snaking doesn’t clear the clog or if you experience recurring slow drains or backups, it’s best to call a professional to accurately diagnose and resolve the issue.
What are the signs of a clogged drain?
Common signs of a clogged drain include slow draining water, gurgling noises from pipes, unpleasant odors, water backing up into sinks or tubs, and frequent drain backups. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your drains inspected and serviced promptly.
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
Regular maintenance is recommended every 1 to 2 years to prevent major clogs and backups, especially in older plumbing systems.
