Signs I Need Drain Cleaning
Slow Draining

Gurgling Noises
If you hear a strange noise like gurgling coming from your toilet, it could be that their are pockets of air trapped within your drainage piping and are being released when you flush your toilet.
Frequent Clogs

Unpleasant Smell
If your drain pipes have sewage or food waste and there is a buildup in the piping, it can create a very unpleasant smell within your home. As the gas that is caught in the pipes will make it’s way up through the pipes and into your home.
What Is the Importance of Regular Drain Cleaning Maintenance?

How Often Should You Have Your Drain Cleaned?
The frequency of drain cleaning will be different for everyone and depends on a number of factors. The main factors include the drain’s age, the size of people in the home, and the frequency of drain usage. A good rule of thumb is to have a licensed plumber clean your drains one time during the year. To get the best answer, be sure to contact your local plumbing company.

Chemicals
Using a chemical drain cleaning compound is a standard solution that homeowners use. Unfortunately, this causes additional damage to your drain and pipes. The solution is designed to eat through the clog, clearing the drain. However, the caustic compound is also eating away your pipes, weakening them and increasing the chances of leaks or flooding.
Plungers & Snakes
Homeowners also use plungers and a purchased plumbing snake to clear drains. Regrettably, it’s easy to misuse both of these tools. If you use the plunger in the wrong way, you can create too much pressure and damage the pipe, sink, or toilet. Using a plumber’s snake incorrectly, on the other hand, can cause excessive force and damage the drain and pipe.
