July 24, 20251 min read

When your drains slow down or start to smell, it’s usually more than just a minor inconvenience—it’s a warning sign. Catching a clog early can save you from expensive repairs later.

Common Signs of a Clogged Drain:

  • Water draining slowly in sinks, tubs, or showers

  • Gurgling sounds from the pipes

  • Bad odors coming from the drain

  • Water backing up in sinks or toilets

  • Frequent clogs in the same location

What Causes Drain Clogs?

  • Hair, grease, food scraps, and soap scum

  • Flushing non-flushables (wipes, feminine products)

  • Tree roots invading your pipes

What You Can Do:

  • Avoid chemical drain cleaners—they often cause more harm than good

  • Call a professional before it becomes an emergency
