Signs and Remedies of a Clogged Drain

Warning Signs

You don’t have to be an expert plumbing contractor to recognize the signs of a clogged drain. There can be many signs that your main house drain is clogged or has the potential to become clogged very soon!

• Water backing up or pooling
• Toilet water bubbles
• Drain making gurgling sounds
• Smelling rotting food in the kitchen sink area
• Smelling sewer odors from drains

Home Remedies for Clogged Drains

Start by turning on your faucet and letting the water flow until the sink is partially full. If you have a double sink, plug one of the drains or the overflow hole. Use a cup plunger over the open drain to work the clog free. For shower drains, you can use a drain snake, or a safe drain cleaner designed for hair and debris.

If every drain is clogged and home remedies have not worked, contact Mr. Rooter plumbing to inspect and unclog your drains.
