5 Signs Your Pacific, MO Drain Needs to be Cleaned

To protect your home from drain issues and water damage, pay attention to your drain's performance and pay attention to any signs that you need to have it cleaned. We've picked out our five top signs to keep track of below:

1. Slow Drains

If it's taking a while for your sinks, showers, bathrooms, and/or more to drain water, one possible cause is that it's clogged. Regardless of how careful you are, everyone inevitably sends more than water down the drain, and over time hair, food scraps, toiletries, and more can build up, causing blockages. Professional cleaning can evacuate these blocks, improving your drains' performance.

2. Water Backing Up

Depending on your home's plumbing, having a clog in one area can cause a drain elsewhere to send water back up. For example, if your toilet line is clogged, you might not see the effects in the toilet. Instead, water could back up out of a drain in your shower, as its regular route through your plumbing is blocked.

3. Foul Odors

be wary of foul odors in and around your drain. This could be caused by bacteria or fungi, but that's not the only cause. Foul odors can also be caused by clogs in the pipes, resulting in sewage backup and air bubbles. At first, it's just a bad smell, but extended exposure can be dangerous.

4. Gurgling Sounds

If your line has a partial clog, you could hear gurgling or bubbling noises coming from trapped air. Your drain is partially functioning, but creates bubbles and air pockets that further decrease your house's plumbing performance. Besides being annoying, these sounds are signals that something larger could be wrong.

5. Multiple Clogged Lines

Finally, all each of the warning signs can worsen by having multiple clogged lines. If more than one of your pipes are clogged, it can cause slow drains, water backup, foul odors, and gurgling sounds in each of the drains. It's also possible that rather than multiple smaller clogs, you have one large one.

If you see all the warnings at multiple drains, you might actually be up against a larger problem: Issues with your main sewer line. A main sewer line issue is an emergency because get into your home's clean water system, causing sickness. If you suspect your sewer system is broken, it's important to call a plumber right away.

Common Drain Cleaning Problems in Pacific, MO

Cleaning your drains is more than removing dirt – it's important for the long-term health and safety of your home. Over time, clogs will damage your house, increase your chance of getting sick, attract insects and rodents, and lower your house's plumbing efficiency.

Corrosion

When a clog sticks around in your Pacific, MO drain and pipes, it can slowly but steadily corrode the pipes, causing damage over time. This can happen either through increased friction, changing the pH of the water, or both. Corrosion is extra difficult because it normally can't be detected from outside the pipe until it breaks and starts spilling water.

Clogs

Clogs can occur when debris accumulates, tapering the drain, creating bottlenecks and even blockages. When your drain is not able to handle as much water, its performance will suffer, and eventually it can spit debris and dirty water back up the drain. Additionally, if pressure builds up, it can result in a break in your pipe.

Water Damage

When a crack appears in a pipe, water can flood part of your home, causing serious damage. You might be able to see it, but it could be in an area you can't see. If water leaks in these areas, your house's foundation could be affected, necessitating repairs.

Health Risks: Bacteria, Mold, and Mildew

Bacteria, mold, and mildew aren't don't just smell bad – they can negatively impact your health, too. The organic matter present in dirty pipes can create a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, which can spread and become airborne. What's more, they can also increase pipe corrosion, causing additional problems.

Pest Infestations

Buildup of food waste and standing water can attract pests, particularly insects. In Pacific, MO, mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches can all live and breed in these environments and create long-standing problems. Working with an exterminator can expel the pests, and working with a plumber to clean the drains can fight against their return.

Reduced Performance in Your Home's Plumbing

If you don't clean your drains regularly, you'll see reductions in your home's plumbing efficiency. It may not be obvious at first, but having your drains perform suboptimally will become more of a hindrance than you realize:

Sinks full of dirt and gunk
Difficulty getting the toilet to fully flush
Dirty or low-pressure showers

Eventually, the clog will acquire more and more material, resulting in a complete blockage. At this stage, cracks will start to form, spilling out water and hurting your property's value. To prevent this, don't send any grease, oils, or solid matter down your drains and hire a plumber to inspect them regularly.

Pacific, MO Drain Cleaning FAQs

Drain cleaning in Pacific, MO is a collaborative effort - regular professional drain cleaning eliminates buildups, while individual maintenance helps keep things operational during the day-to-day. Signature Plumbing has answers to some of the most widespread Pacific, MO drain cleaning questions:

Should I use chemical drain cleaners?

We don't recommend the use of chemical drain cleaners for several reasons - they are often harmful for your plumbing, often don't work in the case of total blockages, and can be hazardous to your health. If they linger in your pipes, too, they can combine with other chemicals in your plumbing system to make deadly compounds.

Can clogged drains make you sick?

Yes, in two ways. First, clogs can create breeding grounds for harmful bacteria and fungi. If they grow unchecked, you're risking your health by being around the given drain.
Second, if the clog stops water from flowing in the proper direction, it can cause waste water to flow backwards, contaminating the rest of your Pacific, MO home's water system.

How often should drain pipes be cleaned in Pacific, MO?

Generally, you'll want to have your drains professionally cleaned every 6 months to 1 year, so that they can eliminate any heavy-duty blocks. You can do your own monthly maintenance to prevent buildup.

What things should I avoid putting down drains?

While it would be impossible to make a truly comprehensive list, here are some things people frequently tend to send down their drains, but actually shouldn't:

Fats/Oils/Grease
Coffee Grounds
Egg Shells
Paper (besides Toilet Paper)
Cleaning Products
Rice or Pasta
Paint

What are common causes of drain clogs?

No matter how hard you try to avoid sending any of the above examples down your drains, eventually, some sort of debris will build up in them. Grease, hair, soap, and food waste are the reasons behind most clogs.

Is it okay to pour boiling water down the drain?

Probably not - boiling water is harmful to certain pipe materials, so we advice you to let water cool before pouring it in a drain. There are occasionally plumbing systems which can handle boiling water, but you're better off using slightly cooled down water, with significantly less risk of damaging your drains.

How can I protect my drain?

Besides regular cleaning/inspections, take advantage of drain covers to stop unwanted substances from flowing down. Compost or trash food scraps, don't send them down the garbage disposal. And pour hot (not boiling!) water down the drain weekly to guard against grease blockages.
