Unpleasant smelling drains is a clear sign your plumbing system needs professional attention. These odors are often caused by a buildup of grease, food particles, soap scum, or other debris trapped in your pipes. Over time, this accumulation can create a breeding ground for bacteria and mold, which produce the foul smells you notice.
If you’re experiencing persistent odors coming from your drains, it might be time for a thorough cleaning.
Frequent clogs and water backups are significant indicators that your drains need professional cleaning. If sinks, toilets, or other fixtures are constantly clogging or backed up, it suggests a severe blockage in your plumbing system. These blockages can be caused by various materials such as hair, soap, grease, and other debris that accumulate over time.
Noisy pipes, especially gurgling or bubbling sounds when water is used, can be a sign of trapped air caused by a blockage. These noises indicate air is being forced through small gaps in the blockage as water attempts to flow past. This is a clear sign that there is an obstruction in your pipes.
Tree root intrusions are a common and serious issue for homeowners, especially those with older sewer lines. Roots can infiltrate your pipes through small cracks or joints, growing and expanding inside the pipes over time. This can cause significant blockage and even damage to your plumbing system.
High-pressure water can cut through the roots and flush them out of the pipes, restoring proper flow and preventing further damage.
If you have tried other drain cleaning methods, such as snaking or chemical cleaners, without success, it may be time to consider hydro jetting. Traditional methods might not always be effective for completely removing blockages but hydrojetting can thoroughly clean the entire pipe.
