A blocked drain, if left to fester, can cause significant damage to a property. When severe, blocked drains can cause structural damage to the areas around it and may eventually overflow. Whether you are in a commercial property or your home, it’s important to know the signs that indicate you may need drain clearing services.
A Foul Smell
One of the most unpleasant signs that you may have a clogged drain is a foul smell coming from the sink. Drains can become blocked because of food, oils and fat getting stuck in the pipework. As this decomposes, it creates a disgusting odour which will eventually make its way back up the pipe.
Signs of Damp
If drains underneath and around your home have collapsed after cracking, they can begin to damage your home more severely. One of the ways this can manifest itself is through damp, as the water usually in the drain will instead be flowing into the area around the pipes. If left alone, this can cause more significant damage.
Gurgling
Listen out to gurgling noises as you let water drain from the sink. If your appliances don’t sound as they should, this could be an indication that there is a blockage somewhere in the drainage system. As drains collect dirt, grease and food, air pockets are created which can produce a gurgling noise.
Slow Draining
Perhaps the most obvious way to identify whether you have an issue with your drain is that it’s draining very slowly. If the water takes a long time to drain out from your sink, it’s certainly worth checking out.
