Signs That You Need Drain Cleaning

The drains in your home serve an important purpose, as a connection point between your plumbing and sewer system. So, if you want your home’s sewer system to keep working properly, you should make sure that your drains remain in good condition. One of the best ways to maintain your drains is by scheduling drain cleaning services at least once a year. This will ensure that water continues to flow smoothly through the system. Let’s take a look at some of the signs that you should schedule drain cleaning services.

Slow Drainage

Many homeowners seem to think of drain clogs as being sudden things, which occur when a large amount of waste blocks up the pipe at once. What actually happens, though, is that drain clogs form more slowly as waste sticks to the walls of the pipe. This slowly restricts the flow of water through the pipe, until the waste meets in the center and the clog is complete. If you notice that your drains are starting to drain more slowly than they normally do, you should schedule drain cleaning services.

Bad Smells

Sometimes, especially in kitchen sink drains, certain kinds of waste buildup can give off a terrible smell. If there is a bad smell coming out of one of your drains, you should definitely schedule drain cleaning services. Note that if there is a bad smell coming out of all of your drains, that tends to indicate a problem further down in your sewer system. You’ll need more involved plumbing services to solve something like that.

You should schedule drain cleaning at least once a year, in order to avoid problems like those listed above. If you need drain cleaning services, call Bell Plumbing and Heating. We offer a full range of drain cleaning services throughout Denver, CO.
