Are your drains clogged or slow to clear? Clogged drains can be annoying, cause damage, and even give off bad odors due to buildup. Our experts in the field will clear your drain and ensure that other issues, such as tree root growth, aren\u2019t contributing to this problem. Whether it\u2019s an inside drain such as your sink or shower, or your main line from the house to the street, we will solve your problems.<\/p>\r\n

How You Know You’re Dealing With a Clogged Drain<\/h2>\r\n

Clogged drains are a real headache, and it’s not always easy to tell if a drain cleaning will work or if the problem is more serious. The following are five things to look for that will let you know that a clog is an issue.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. The toilet starts to bubble and gurgle. This is because the clog creates negative air pressure, which pushes the air back into the bowl.<\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Water backs up into the sink, tub, shower, or toilet<\/a>. This is an easy-to-spot sign that you can’t miss.<\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Water leaks<\/a> from beneath the toilet. There are many reasons for this, but the most common is because too much pressure is applied when trying to plunge the toilet. This can break the wax seal located between the toilet and the floor.<\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Bad odors seeping from the drain. This occurs because bacteria that eat the debris within your pipes produce hydrogen sulfide gas as they digest. It smells awful, and since it’s not getting flushed away, it comes back into the home.<\/li>\r\n\t
  5. Water is slow to drain from tubs, showers, sinks, etc. The clog prevents proper drainage, and until it’s cleared, this problem will only worsen as the clog grows larger and larger.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Preventative Maintenance Helps Prevent Clogs in Indianapolis<\/h2>\r\n

    Regular drain cleanings can help ensure that clogs don’t bring the flow of daily life to a complete stop. Equally as important are simple steps you can take every day to prevent the possibility of a clog. This includes watching what you flush down the drain and never flushing items such as baby wipes, diapers, hygiene products, paper towels, grease, oil, hair trimmings, etc., into the sewer line. The more you keep out, the less likely your drains will clog.<\/p>\r\n
