Signs My Drains Need Professional Cleaning

September 15, 2023by Five Star Plumbing

If you are using chemical drain cleaners all the time, your drains need professional cleaning. Well, technically, your plumbing pipes need professional cleaning. Over time, there are numerous things that build up inside your household plumbing. Unfortunately, drain cleaners can only do so much. There will come a point when you need to have the drains professionally cleaned.

Foul Odors

For example, if all of your drains and your toilets smell rancid, the plumbing is getting clogged. We use a power washing system to remove all of the grime that has built up inside the plumbing. This also cleans the plumbing pipes and removes the unpleasant odors.

Frequent Clogs

Another sign that we need to clean your plumbing system is drains that clog frequently. We are not talking about just one drain. If the plumbing system is getting clogged, more than one of your household drains will clog frequently. Call us to schedule a cleaning service.

Fruit Fly Infestation

Fruit flies feed off the grime that builds up inside the drain pipes. Consequently, you will end up with a fruit fly infestation in your home. This is a sign that the plumbing system needs to be professionally cleaned to remove the source of food for the fruit flies.

Gurgling Noises

Your drains and toilets may also start to gurgle if the plumbing system is getting clogged. If you use drain cleaner to clean the plumbing pipes yet the drains start to gurgle again quickly, you need a professional cleaning. Do not worry. We’ve got you covered.

Overflowing Toilets

The toilets may also start to overflow in the case of severe plumbing system clogs. Check to make sure your toilets are emptying as quickly and efficiently as they normally do. If they have slowed down or are backing up, give us a call to schedule a cleaning service.

Slow Drains

We mentioned above that the drains will get clogged. First, they will slow down. You will notice that it takes much longer for the bathtubs, showers, bathroom sinks, and kitchen sinks to drain, especially when they are full of water, such as a full bathtub.

Standing Water

Standing water is definitely a sign that the drain pipe is clogged. If you run out to the store and purchase an OTC drain cleaner that does not work, call us so we can unclog the drain for you. We will also clean the plumbing system to avoid future clogs.

We are the best plumber in town, so give us a call to schedule an appointment for a plumbing system cleaning if you are having any of the problems discussed in this blog post.
