Signs You Have a Clogged Drain

You would think the signs were obvious, but the issue is not always as clear. For example, if you shower and the water goes to a trickle, you most likely have a stoppage. Or if the drain just won’t seem to do its job and allow water to flow properly. However, the problem could be much deeper in the lines.

Here are some of the common signs that your drains are clogged:

• Slow draining and water pooling in toilets, sinks, showers, or bathtubs.
• Gurgling sounds from drains or flushed toilets.
• Unpleasant odors like sewage or rotten egg smell coming from water sources and drains.
• Water backup in toilets, sinks, showers, or bathtubs.

When there is an issue like any of the above, you will need to contact your local plumbing professionals to come out and assess the situation. So, if you are in the Tampa or St. Petersburg area, call Flow Pros Plumbing to come out ASAP.

How to Avoid Clogged Drains

Fixing a stoppage can be easy in some cases and much more complex and time-consuming in others. There are definite things to try at home.

Here are a few ways to prevent drain clogs:

• Use Drain Strainers: Install strainers in sinks and showers to catch hair, food particles, and other debris.
• Dispose of Grease Properly: Never pour cooking oil or grease down your drains, as they solidify and cause blockages.
• Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean your drains with hot water or a vinegar-baking soda solution to prevent buildup.
• Be Mindful of What You Flush: Avoid disposing of sanitary products, wet wipes, or other non-biodegradable items in the toilet.

Otherwise, when you have a plumbing emergency, our team will be right out. We are ready to help you get the water flowing again quickly and affordably.

When Is It Time for a Toilet Repair or Replacement?

A working toilet is a necessity for any home or business. If you are unsure whether you need a toilet repair or replacement, there are a few things to consider.

• Age and Efficiency: Older toilets clog more frequently and use more water per flush. Upgrading to a modern toilet means greater efficiency, reduced chances of clogs, and less water usage.
• Persistent Clogging: If clogs become a regular occurrence even after preventive measures, it might be time to consider professional drain cleaning services or a consultation for a potential toilet replacement.
• Visible Damage or Continuous Running: Cracks, leaks, or a toilet that won’t stop running are indicators that it’s time for a repair or a complete replacement.

Preventing Toilet Clogs

• Only Flush the Essentials: Remember, toilets can only handle human waste and toilet paper. Avoid flushing heavy paper products, hygiene items, and other non-biodegradable materials.
• Regular Maintenance: Perform regular checks and cleanings to ensure your toilet’s flushing mechanism is functioning properly, preventing buildup that could lead to clogs.

Signs That Your Toilet May Be Headed for a Clog

• Slow Flushing: If water swirls but doesn’t go down quickly, it might be an early sign of a clog forming.
• Frequent Use of Plunger: Needing to plunge your toilet frequently is a clear sign that it’s prone to clogs and possibly requires professional attention.
