Signs Your Drain Is Clogged

It’s more difficult to spot a clogged drain than people typically think. You may notice water backing up or refusing to flow and your sink or another fixture, but this is only a single indication you need to clean a drain. By noticing several other signs, you can determine if you have a clog in your drain.

What Drains Can I Find in My Home?

All your home’s drains function with the same responsibility, and Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southern Massachusetts has years of expertise handling all issues impacting them. You can end up with a clogged drain for many reasons, so it takes a plumbing professional to find the best solution. The following are common drains you’ll find around a home and the reasons they get clogged:

• Bathroom Drains – A clog in a bathroom drain clog commonly occurs because of hair, soap, and toothpaste. Simple drain covers are available to place on your drains and collect loose hairs as they wash out during your shower or bath. We also suggest running hot water when brushing your teeth, ensuring your toothpaste doesn't collect and harden in your pipes.
• Kitchen Drains – Clogged kitchen drains have a few main culprits, including oil, grease, and bits of food. When cleaning your kitchen after cooking and eating meals, these elements wash down your drain and may collect inside your pipes. Oil and grease are particularly harmful to drains because they stick and harden on your pipe walls. A garbage disposal can lower your chance of developing a clog, but we recommend not washing specific foods down your drain, such as bones, meat, and fibrous vegetables.
• Floor Drains – Leaves, dust, and dirt commonly clog a home’s floor drains. You can find these drains in basements, laundry rooms, and garages. A clogged floor drain can result in floor damage. You may not worry about these drains because they’re typically out of sight, but they need regular cleaning to minimize the chance of clogs developing.

Helpful Tips to Fix a Clogged Drain Yourself

To identify a clogged drain in your home, an excellent starting point is determining if your sink is draining. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southern Massachusetts has listed a few a list of simple ways to fix a clogged drain in your sink if one occurs:

• While letting your sink drain, prepare a kettle or pot of hot water if your sink still has some water movement. Boiled water effectively clears clogs caused by oils and fats hardening in your drains. Carefully pour the hot water down your drain after it finishes draining most or all the water. We strongly recommend scheduling routine drain cleanings and inspections to keep your pipes draining at their best.
• Another do-it-yourself method to remove drain clogs is pulling them out with a plunger and drain snake. A sink plunger is smaller than other plungers, and it’s easier to manage. You can use a sink plunger to pull clogged material close to your drain opening. After plunging a drain, you can remove the material from your pipe using a drain snake. Your best action is to dispose of that material in your trash rather than flushing it down the pipe you cleared.
• If a clog still persists, your next step is to call a plumber. You cannot snag clogs located deep within your pipes using an average drain snake, such as tree roots invading your pipes and clogging them. This clog type is a job for plumbing professionals with more extensive clog-clearing solutions.
