Why Clean Drains Matter
The drains in your home carry wastewater filled with everything you put down your drain. These particles often clog the drain, leaving standing water and unpleasant odors. Clean and clear drains are essential to letting the drain do its job. It’s essential to contact us as soon as you notice any signs of a clogged drain.
What Are Common Signs of Clogged Drains?
Clogged drains often show signs before they become a significant issue. Most people wait until water backs up into their drains before contacting us. It’s critical to know about other signs of clogged drains, including:
- Foul odors in drains
- Pools of water in drains
- Slow-moving drains
- Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
- Strange wet spots on your lawn

Drains We Service
Every drain has the same job, but drains are all different. Our professionals at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Toledo, OH offer drain cleaning services for every drain, including the following:
- Floor Drains – Floor drains are found in garages, basements, and other low areas in your home. They easily get clogged with dust and dirt. A clogged floor drain can damage the flooring, so cleaning them regularly is important.
- Bathroom Drains – Bathroom drains are often filled with hair, soap, and toothpaste. We recommend installing drain covers to help protect your drains. It’s important to run hot water while brushing your teeth to help loosen the toothpaste from the pipes.
- Kitchen Drains – Many people don’t think twice about putting grease, oil, and food down their kitchen drains. Oil and grease harden inside your pipes, and your garbage disposal cannot handle hard foods. It’s important to avoid putting grease or oil down your sink drains.
Helpful Tips to Fix Your Clogged Drains
Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Toledo, OH does our best to help you unclog your drain before taking the time to contact us. You can try to unclog simple blocks in your pipes by following these steps:
- Let the clogged sink drain as you prepare a pot of hot water. The boiling water will help effectively unclog hardened oils and fats from the pipes. Pour the boiling hot water into the drain. We recommend routine drain cleanings and pipe inspections to ensure your pipes are not clogged.
- Use a plunger and a drain snake to dislodge the clog. Try using the plunger to unclog the drain, and then use the drain snake to take the material out of the pipe. Always throw away the clogged material instead of flushing it down the drain.
- Contact our service professionals if the clog will not come out of the pipe. Tree root intrusion cannot be repaired with an average drain snake. We have the most effective plumbing tools to dislodge challenging clogs.
