Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
Have you noticed your bathroom sink draining slower than it used to? You may notice it when you are washing your hands or brushing your teeth in the morning. It’s kind of gross isn’t it? The water just sits there in your sink as you continue to spit out your rinse water into a standing puddle of dirty water. Sorry for the visual, its just that we’ve all been there. The problem most likely is a drain blockage and needs a drain cleaning. There are a few reasons why you may have a clogged drain . The usual culprits are soap, makeup, hair, toothpaste, food particles, etc. It doesn’t take much for these items to get together and throw a standing room only party in your drain resulting in standing water in your sink. The same thing happens in your kitchen sink drain even if you have a garbage disposal. Sometimes these drains can be cleared with some simple drain cleaner, other times it is necessary to put the drain cleaner to the side and call the local plumbing professionals with years of experience to perform plumbing services and to unclog drains ensuring proper drain flow.
Shower Drain Cleaning
Are you noticing that when you take a shower you start to hear the water as if it is in stereo? You look down and see the water starting to accumulate by your feet. The shower water is falling on the accumulating water and producing an unusual echoing sound. The water is still rising around your feet and you turn around to look at your shower drain and your footsteps are now splashing when you move around in the shower. You wonder if your drain pipes are even working. What I have just described is a symptom of a blocked shower drain, and it can be a bit disorienting. Some of the culprits are the same as the sink drain clog, hair and soap. But if your shower stall is a tub/shower combination then…well it can be all kinds of small objects especially if you have kids. Small toys, toilet paper, wash clothes, lego pieces, you name it can end up down a bathtub/shower drain. If your shower drains slow, don’t put up with that slow drain any longer.
