Effectively Unclogging Drains: A clogged drain is a frustrating experience for any homeowner. Whether it’s a simple clog in your bathroom sink, a shower or tub that drains extremely slowly, or a kitchen sink that seems to take ages to recede, working around a clog can be a truly frustrating experience. To make matters even worse, if you don’t completely remove the clog the first time, there’s a good chance it could come back again before long.

Common Causes of a Clogged Drain

The best way to deal with a clog is to prevent it from happening in the first place. While there are some causes completely outside of your day-to-day control – tree roots, broken pipes, etc. – there are even more than you can control inside your home. A key part of this is knowing the most common causes of clogs, which include:

1. Hair
2. Soap scum
3. Cotton products
4. “Flushable” wipes
5. Food waste
6. Dirt and dust
7. Fats, oil, and grease
8. Small objects

Common Signs You Need Drain Cleaning Services

It’s easy to forget about the many components of our plumbing system when everything is working as it should. However, when you’re dealing with a flooded bathroom due to an overflowing toilet or tub, you wish you would have noticed the warning signs. That’s why it’s important to educate yourself about the common signs that it’s time to call us for drain cleaning in Calgary, AB

You probably need your drain(s) cleaned if:

1. You’re experiencing slow drain: This is one of the most frequently experienced symptoms of a clogged drain. Everything from soap scum and hair to foreign objects could be the cause of a slow drain. But fear not; we’ll surely get to the bottom of the issue soon!
2. You hear gurgling noises: A noticeable gurgling noise coming from your drain is a telltale sign that something is amiss. The noise results from a clog, causing water to push through a small space or change course within your drain system.
3. You notice an unpleasant smell: A clogged drain means sewage and other waste can build up, leading to foul odors permeating your home. You should call us when you notice an unwelcome smell coming from your drain.
4. You have a fruit fly infestation: Fruit flies are attracted to waste build up, which means that an infestation is likely signaling the presence of it within your drains. Fortunately, drain cleaning will get rid of the build-up and your infestation.
5. You have standing water in your tub or appliances: If your shower suddenly turns into a bath because of standing water, or if your washing machine has a pool of water in it after it’s finished a cycle, this is an indication that there is a serious problem with your drains and you should give us a call ASAP.
6. You deal with frequent clogs: If you have to reach for the plunger each time you flush the toilet, this strongly indicates that a larger clog is developing somewhere in your sewer lines. You may potentially need sewer line repair.
