Most clogs start small and get bigger over time. When a complete blockage forms, it’s inconvenient and disruptive to your daily use of sinks, bathtubs, showers, and toilets. So, most homeowners are happier when they have clogs cleared before they become complete blockages. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of St. Charles likes to offer our clients some tips for identifying a clog early in its lifecycle. Some indications that a clog is forming include the following:
- If foul odors are present near your drains
- If toilets are backing up
- If you hear a bubbling sound coming from your toilet
- If your sinks drain slower than normal
- If your drains make a gurgling sound
- If you have soggy areas of grass around your property
- If you notice puddles on the floor near laundry appliances, bathtubs, showers, or sinks
