Signs Your Drain Needs Professional Attention
Meridian residents enjoy a good BBQ with friends during the summer and snow days in the winter. However, your snowman-making plans may grind to a halt if your drains aren’t working as they should. Learn to notice the warning signs of drain problems to avoid a major issue like a burst main sewer line on the hottest day of summer.
If you notice any of the following signs, call us today to prevent a major drain problem.
Sewage back-ups
Overflowing drains and toilets can be simple enough to fix with a little patience, a plunger, and a vinegar and baking soda solution. However, frequent back-ups indicate a problem with your drain system. It could be as simple as gunk built up along the walls or a bigger issue like tree root invasion.
Slow drains
Consistently slow drains in your sink, shower, or tub indicate a buildup in your line that’s blocking the flow in a downstream pipe. It may seem like a small inconvenience, but ignoring it could spell disaster when it stops draining altogether. Improper drainage increases the chances of mold and mildew growth, moisture problems, and other issues associated with stagnant water.
Foul odors
Odors coming from your drains signal a multitude of issues. General grease and other organic materials create ample opportunity for bacteria growth, which can lead to odors. Smelly drains may also indicate a dry P-trap, clogged sewer vents, a blocked sewer line, and more.
Bubbling or gurgling drains
If you hear gurgling or bubbling noises from your drain when water isn’t running or if air bubbles rise from the toilet when you turn on the faucet, you have a sewer line problem. The common culprits of gurgling drains are clogged sewer lines or clogged sewer vents.
Fruit flies and drain flies
These pesky flies are attracted to moisture and organic materials, and your drains have both. While they aren’t dangerous by themselves, they do indicate the presence of organic material buildup in your drains.
