An occasional clogged drain is a common plumbing issue, and there are many ways to deal with the problem yourself. However, in some cases, home solutions like chemical drain cleaners or plungers might not work, and you will need to enlist the help of a professional plumber.
In this article, our team at Rescue Plumbing will provide more information about when you should call a plumber about your clogged drain.
- Multiple Drains Affected – One sign you should call a plumber about your clogged drain is if multiple drains in your home are affected. When multiple drains slow down at the same time, it means the issue is not in the individual drainpipes, but in the sewer line for your home. Our team offers sewer jetting services to remove blockages in the sewer line and allow your drains to work properly once more.
- Frequent Blockages – Another sign you should call a plumber for help with your clogged drain has to do with frequency. If you find yourself dealing with multiple clogged drains within a short time frame, then it means there might be a deeper issue at work. Our team can assess your system to figure out what is causing your drains to clog so often, and we can provide a more effective long-term solution.
- Failed DIY Methods – Lastly, you should call a plumber if your home methods for dealing with a clogged drain don’t work. If you’ve tried using a plunger, auger, vinegar and baking soda, chemical drain cleaners, or any combination of home remedies only to see no results, give us a call.
