Common signs of a drain problem
A drain does not have to stop completely to need attention. Slow drainage, repeated backups and changes in sound or odor can be useful clues. Tell our team which fixtures are affected and whether the symptoms appear together. A problem at one sink may call for a different inspection from a backup affecting several areas.
These signs are reasons to investigate, rather than a diagnosis of the pipe condition. If wastewater is backing up into a fixture, stop using that affected fixture and call for help.
- Water lingering in a sink, shower or tub.
- A clog that returns after the drain has been cleared.
- Gurgling or bubbling while water drains.
- Unpleasant odors or wastewater backing up.
