Signs of a Blocked Drain
If you’re unsure whether your drain is blocked, here are some common signs to look out for:
- Slow draining water: Does water take forever to drain out of your sink, bathtub, or shower? It’s a clear indication of a blockage in the pipes.
- Foul odors: Unpleasant smells emanating from your drains could be a result of trapped food particles, grease, or other debris.
- Gurgling sounds: When your drain makes gurgling or bubbling noises, it’s a sign of air trapped in the pipes due to a blockage.
- Water backups: Notice water coming back up from the drain when you flush the toilet or use the sink? It’s time to get the drain checked.
