[large_heading]When to Call a Pro for a Clogged Drain[/large_heading]
Not all drain clogs are created equal. Sure, you may think about calling a plumber when you’re trying to unclog your drain for the tenth time in a week. But what about the simpler clogs? When should you transition from handling clogged drains on your own to calling a professional?
[medium_heading]When to Invest in Professional Drain Cleaning[/medium_heading]
Shower drains are typically what people think of when someone says they need their drain unclogged. In showers, specifically, running a snake down the drain every once in a while can be a do-it-yourself project. However, here are some indications when the project is too big for a DIY project and should be handed over to a professional:
• More than one drain is affected: This problem could mean you have a clog in the main line that is causing all your drains to run slow. Snakes and liquid drain options won’t reach the main line, so a professional is needed for this job.
• Water is backing up into other areas: This problem could also mean you have a main line clog, but it could also just be the intersection of two pipes. For example, if you’re doing laundry and the bathtub backs up, a professional could clear the intersection of those two pipes.
• When your drains smell like sewage: It’s common for kitchen drains to smell foul at times if you have a garbage disposal. If you don’t, or other drains are producing this smell, a professional would be able to check out your pipes to see where the problem is.
