Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
Recognizing the early signs of a clogged drain can save you time, money, and stress. Here are some common signs that you need professional drain cleaning:
- Slow-draining water: If water takes longer than usual to drain from sinks, tubs, or showers, there’s likely a clog.
- Frequent clogs: Recurring blockages are signs of a significant clog deep in your main drain or sewer line.
- Unpleasant odors: Foul smells from your drains often signal a buildup of debris in your pipes.
- Gurgling noises: Strange sounds are often caused by air trapped in the pipes.
- Sewage backup: If water and sewage are backing up into one drain when you use another, you likely have a main drain or sewer line blockage.
Request service from Len The Plumber Heating & Air if you notice any of these drain problems in your Mid-Atlantic home. We offer a two-hour response time for main drain services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning
How can I prevent drain clogs?
For regular drain maintenance, it can be helpful to rinse your drains with hot water followed by cool water. You may also want to use a 1:1 solution of baking soda and vinegar, followed by flushing the drain with hot (not boiling) water. This will help prevent soap scum and other gunky buildup from gathering in your drains and impeding their flow.
One crucial piece of advice we always give is to stay away from chemical drain cleaners. These will eat away at your plumbing system as well as your clog and can cause costly damage over time.
What is tree root infiltration?
What should I use to clean my drains?
When you have a tough clog that’s backing up the water in your drain, here are a few methods you can try before enlisting the help of a professional:
- Baking soda and vinegar, followed by flushing the drain with hot water
- Snake to break up and remove the clog
- Cup plunger for small clogs in your sink or drain
Notice that chemical drain cleaners are not on this list. That’s because liquid chemical drain cleaners can wreak havoc on your plumbing system, eating away at your pipes and causing expensive damage.
If you want to try a liquid drain cleaner, choose an all-natural enzymatic product that won’t have harsh effects on your plumbing.
