The drains in sinks, showers, and other plumbing fixtures take wastewater out of the house to maintain clean, sanitary conditions. The drains are constantly used and a wide variety of debris can build up inside the drainpipe. Eventually, the minerals, soap scum, and other debris sticks to the sides of the pipe and create a clog. 

Call a pro for drain cleaning when you have: 

• Slow draining water – Often, a drain problem starts with water draining slower than normal. As debris continues to build up, the drain will become slow before being completely blocked. 
• Backed-up drains – When the drain becomes completely blocked, the water will back up into the sink or tub. The blockage and backed-up water put pressure on the pipe. If the clog gets large enough, it can cause damage to the pipe. 
• Frequent or recurring clogs – Does using a plunger solve your clog temporarily? When you have a drain that becomes frequently clogged, it’s time to call a professional. 
• Unpleasant odors – As food particles, grease, or other debris collects inside the drain, it can cause unpleasant odors. If you have a bad smell coming from a drain, professional drain cleaning can solve the problem. 
• Unusual noises in the drain – Gurgling or bubbling noises inside a drain can signal a problem developing inside the pipe.
