FAQs

If your drains are blocked or in need of repair, you may notice one or more of the following signs:

• Slow or no water flow down the drain
• Water backing up into the sink, bathtub, or toilet
• A foul odor coming from the drain
• A clicking or gurgling sound coming from the drain

There are several ways to prevent your drains from clogging. These include:

• Avoid putting grease, oil, or food scraps down the drain. These items can solidify and cause clogs.
• Use a drain strainer to catch food scraps and other debris.
• Regularly clean out your drains with a plunger or drain snake.
• Have your drains professionally cleaned every few years.

If you have tried to unblock a drain yourself and have not been successful, or if you are experiencing any of the following signs, it is time to call a professional drainage company:

• The clog is severe and cannot be cleared with a plunger or drain snake.
• The clog is causing water to back up into your home.
• You smell a foul odor coming from the drain.
• You think the clog may be caused by a damaged pipe.
