Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning Services
If you know what to look for, drain clogs and backups don’t have to catch you off guard. Keep an eye out for the following signs that you may need to enlist help from a professional:
- Bad odors: Foul odors are one of the most obvious signs of drain clogs that require professional attention.
- Slow drainage: Hair, grease, food, or foreign objects invading your drains can lead to slow drainage in water fixtures like sinks and showers. If this occurs in one fixture, the clog may be minor, but the issue could be worse if you see this in multiple fixtures throughout your home.
- Rising toilet bowl water: Water rises after you flush because of a clogged drain or an issue with a flapper valve.
- Several clogged fixtures: Drain backups create an unsanitary, unhealthy environment. If multiple fixtures are backed up, this could indicate a complete clog in your drain line.
- Odd sounds: If gurgling or bubbling noises are coming from your drains as they’re used or from nearby fixtures simultaneously, expert attention may be required.

How To Prevent Drain Clogs
Different fixtures will require different solutions and best practices. But the essence of preventing drain clogs remains the same in being diligent and attentive, taking measures to:
- Regularly clean all drains: Human and pet hair are a common culprit for sink, shower, and tub backups. Watch hair buildup whenever you shower or clean your pets, and clean all drains and drain stoppers weekly.
- Watch for problematic food items: Prevent food scraps, such as shells, skins, peels, coffee grounds, etc., and other foreign objects from entering the drain, especially if you have a garbage disposal.
- Only flush toilet paper: Don’t put anything other than toilet paper in the bowl, leading to unnecessary and inconvenient clogs.
- Use eco-friendly drain cleaners: Non-corrosive, biodegradable bacterial drain cleaners are a great way to maintain the integrity of your pipes without damaging them.

Drain Cleaning FAQs
How can I prevent drain clogs?
Some preventative measures include using drain strainers to catch debris, never pouring grease down the drain, refraining from flushing non-flushable items down your toilet, and regularly cleaning your drains with hot water and baking soda or vinegar.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unclog my drains?
While chemical drain cleaners can be effective, they often contain harsh chemicals that can be damaging to pipes and harmful to the environment. It’s generally recommended to try safer alternatives like using a plunger, a drain snake, or natural cleaning solutions first.
How often should I clean my drains?
Regular maintenance can help prevent clogs. It’s a good practice to clean your drains with a natural solution every few weeks. However, if you notice slow drainage or signs of a clog, and can’t resolve it on your own, it may be time to contact a professional plumber, like Isaac. We have the expertise and the equipment to address more complex drainage issues.
