What Are The Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning?

A slow or clogged drain will only get worse with time, so it’s important to recognize the signs that you need professional drain cleaning:

  • Slow-draining sinks or tubs: If your sinks or tubs take longer than usual to drain, there could be a blockage in your pipes.
  • Frequent clogs: Recurring clogs in your sinks, showers, or tubs indicate a deeper blockage that requires professional attention.
  • Foul odors: Persistent smells from your drains suggest debris buildup or a sewer line issue. This can also attract drain flies.
  • Gurgling noises: Strange gurgling sounds coming from your drains when you use other fixtures often signal a blockage or venting problem.
  • Sewage backups: Water backing up into sinks, tubs, or toilets is a clear sign of a serious blockage that requires immediate professional intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning

Why Are Tree Roots Growing In My Drains?

Tree roots are naturally attracted to moisture and nutrients, both of which are found inside your underground sewer and drain pipes. If there’s even a small crack, joint, or gap in an older or damaged pipe, roots can detect the moisture and begin to infiltrate the system in search of water. Once inside, the roots continue to grow, feeding off the water and organic matter. Over time, they can form dense root masses that block the flow of water, cause slow drainage, or even lead to broken pipes and backups. This is especially common in older homes with clay or cast iron pipes, which are more susceptible to root intrusion.

Can I Use Chemical Cleaners To Clear My Drains?

Chemical drain cleaners might seem like a quick and inexpensive fix for a clog, but they can do more harm than good. These products often contain harsh ingredients like lye or sulfuric acid, which can corrode the inside of your pipes over time—especially if used repeatedly. This damage is more severe in older plumbing systems made of metal or PVC. Additionally, chemical cleaners are harmful to the environment and can pose health risks if not used correctly. For stubborn or recurring clogs, it’s safer and more effective to call a professional plumber who can use mechanical tools or hydro-jetting to clear the blockage without harming your pipes.

Can I Clean My Drains Myself?

Yes, for minor clogs, homeowners can often resolve the issue with basic tools like a plunger or a hand-operated drain snake. These methods are usually effective for surface-level blockages in sinks, tubs, or toilets. However, if the clog keeps coming back, is deep in the plumbing system, or involves multiple drains, it’s best to leave the job to a licensed plumber. Professionals use advanced tools like motorized augers and camera inspections to locate and eliminate the clog thoroughly, preventing further damage and costly repairs down the line. DIY methods are a good first step, but they don’t always solve the root problem—especially if the issue is caused by grease buildup, tree roots, or broken pipes.

How Often Should Drains Be Professionally Cleaned?

For most homes, professional drain cleaning is recommended once every 1 to 2 years as a preventative measure. This routine maintenance helps keep your plumbing system flowing smoothly by removing built-up debris like grease, soap scum, hair, and mineral deposits before they cause serious blockages. However, the frequency can vary based on your household habits and the age of your plumbing system. For example, homes with large families, older pipes, or frequent clog issues may benefit from more frequent cleanings—possibly once a year or even every six months. Regular drain cleaning not only prevents emergency backups but also extends the life of your pipes and keeps unpleasant odors at bay.

What To Expect During Professional Drain Cleaning?

When you schedule a professional drain cleaning, a licensed plumber will typically begin by assessing the issue and asking about any symptoms you’re experiencing, like slow drains, gurgling sounds, or recurring clogs. Next, they may perform a camera inspection to locate the clog and identify the cause—whether it’s grease buildup, tree roots, or a collapsed pipe. Depending on the issue, the technician might use a motorized drain snake (also called an auger) to break through tough blockages or employ hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to completely clear the pipe walls. The process is efficient, safe for your plumbing, and more thorough than chemical cleaners or DIY methods. After the cleaning, your plumber may offer tips on how to prevent future clogs and suggest any necessary repairs if they found damaged or deteriorating pipes during the inspection.
