A clogged drain is no fun. If you are like most homeowners, you want to fix a clogged drain as soon as possible so that the problem does not get worse. In the article below, our team of experts have compiled the list of the most common signs that you have a clogged drain, and some tips for what you should do to fix it.
The first and the most obvious sign that you have a clogged drain is that the water in your sink, tub or shower drains very slowly (and sometimes even not at all). This could be caused from a variety of items, including hair, food, soap scum and more.
Second, if you notice there is a terrible smell coming from your drain, it may be caused by a clogged drain. This sign is a bit more difficult to detect than a slowly draining sink, shower or bathtub, but it often comes before the drain is fully clogged, which could help you fix the problem sooner.
Lastly, if your drain makes a gurgling sound, this could be a warning sign that you have a clogged drain. Act fast to fix the problem before the clogs cause expensive damage to your plumbing system.
A few techniques to fix a clogged drain include plunging, snaking a drain, a chemical drain repair, or an evacuation drain repair.
