Clear Signs of a Clogged Drain

Don't ignore the signs! Spotting the early indications of a clogged drain can save you from major problems later on. Here are some common red flags to look out for:

  1. Sink water backing up: If water starts rising in your sink instead of flowing down smoothly, you've got a clog.
  2. Stagnant water around shower drains: Pools of water forming around your shower drain are a sign of potential clogs.
  3. Slow drainage after water pooling: If water takes forever to drain, especially after pooling around the drain, it's likely due to an obstruction.
  4. Toilet water bubbling: When your toilet bubbles while using a different faucet, it points to interconnected plumbing issues.
  5. Gurgling sounds from drains: Unusual noises coming from your drains indicate pipe problems.
  6. Water pooling near sinks or bathtubs: If you see water collecting on the floor close to these fixtures, there may be a clog in the drain pipes.
  7. Foul odor from the kitchen sink: A stench of rotting food coming from your kitchen sink could be caused by trapped debris in a clog.
  8. Sewage odors: If you catch a whiff of sewage, it's a clear sign of a clogged sewer drain.

How to Clear a Clogged Drain on Your Own

You might be surprised at how many clogs you can handle yourself! Before calling a plumber, try these steps to clear a clogged kitchen sink or bathroom drain:

  1. Fill the sink partially with water: Turn on the faucet and let the sink fill partially with water.
  2. Plug one drain or cover the overflow hole: Use a wet rag to block one drain (for double kitchen sinks) or cover the overflow hole (for bathroom sinks).
  3. Plunge the clogged drain: Grab a cup plunger and vigorously plunge up and down to dislodge the clog. Repeat this process a few times.
  4. Dealing with shower drain clogs: For shower drains, use a drain snake or a hair and debris removal cleaner for more effective results.

Emergency Plumbing: What You Need to Know

If you're faced with a severe clog that has turned into a plumbing emergency, time is of the essence. Immediately shut off the shutoff valve specific to the problematic fixture to prevent water overflow.

In more severe emergency situations or if you're unsure of what to do, locate and shut off your home's main shutoff valve.
